I interpret the effect you mention differently, that there is simply not enough democracy.

If the government takes more input from associations than from voting, I think it's a reasonable conclusion. (See also my comment about tripartism above.)

But what seems to me closer to the truth is that people simply heavily underestimate the power of their vote.

Now I'm even more confused because we're mixing positive and normative discussions :/

Parties are still highly effective at consolidating power in countries with many parties.
