Those anti-democratic limits are where the devil lies. I think that they can only stay intact indefinitely by having competition for governance. Part of a reason why I'm a proponent of polycentric law, so that a single monopoly of governance can't slowly crush the populace.
Once the majority realizes they can't tyrannize the minority because the minority can run away and work under their own system of law, a balance might be found. Under such a system there is no monopolistic democracy, but people might voluntarily enter into one until they find their rights too suppressed.
