The German Empire had an elected national parliament with universal male suffrage; its constituent states had had local legislatures before 1871, although with varying amounts of election to them. It also had interventionist monarchs with wide-ranging executive powers, and a head of government that was directly responsible to the crown instead of the legislature, but that's a very long way from "no democratic tradition".
