voting becomes weaker as the government gets bigger because you end up with an enormous not elected bureaucracy that in many cases is answerable to no one, especially the voting public.
worse it is self perpetuating , growing with each cycle, and siphoning off a lot of wealth and energy that could be used to make things better. in the US there are nearly eight million full time employees of federal, state, city, and local, governments. A good number wield no real power but you get into the administrative levels and then you find those who do wield it.
voting is like choosing what flavor icing you want on your cake but you have no guarantee of a cake. to truly make voting impactful more of the administrative state needs to turn over each cycle as well. hell some government agencies have their own courts
