    I'm not 100% sure about that, but I was more interested in the intrinsic correlation between democracy and Liberalism.

    I just can't imagine a democracy that isn't liberal, because all the basic elements of a democracy crumble soon after. Unless, well, you consider ancient Athens' Democracy to be an actual democracy.
