In the first place, "liberal democracy" is an oxymoron. Liberalism is rule by the rich and democracy is - at least in theory - rule by everyone. Serious liberals have never liked democracy and only really grudgingly accept it, precisely on the terms you describe - democracy is when liberals get their way, and the more liberals get their way, the more democratic it is.
