Do you have any examples of multilevel voting that test whether they increase or decrease the concentration of power?
The only example I know is Venice, where they were introduced with the express purpose of decreasing it and they succeeded. Another example is American direct election of Senators and Presidents. I’m not sure what effect it had there. Plus it is confounded by the continual increase in the franchise.
