So far as that exists, it seems to be based on honor, hereditary privileges, control of megacorps (not inferquently owned by noble houses), rank in the noble hierarchy, family connections, and military service. I'm not seeing any 'democracy' there. The Moot is not 'democratic' but aristocratic. It also doesn't govern the Imperium.

Again, YMMV, but I don't see much 'democracy' in the 3I, beyond those planets that happen to have democratic governments.
