Side note—France isn’t a great example for your point here “France, for example, is a very old, well-established and liberal democracy.” because the Fifth Republic was only established in 1958. It’s also notable for giving the president much stronger executive powers compared with the Fourth Republic!
The current constitution isn’t that old (although 65 years is still longer than most democracies), but with brief interruptions, France has been a democracy for around 150 years, which is far longer than most countries can claim.
