I'm looking for specific instances of where it would progress the legislative framework of western democracy, not generalities.
An odd view to look for. May I ask why? Are you worried that Shariah will infiltrate the framework of western democracy?
Skipping over the fact that the statement shows a view of "Shariah" that isn't really grounded in reality, I'll continue with your question by replacing your use of the word "Shariah" with fiqh, or "Islamic Jurisprudence".
The fact of the matter is, "Islamic Jurisprudence" and "Western Democracy" aren't some monolithic ivory towers that are absolutely separate from each other. There are many situations today, and in history where one borrowed from the other. So looking for specific instances where one would "progress" the other seems fallacious- the very structure itself already includes it.
For examples in "Western Democracy" that borrowed heavily from "Islamic Jurisprudence", you have a whole lot of stuff relating to finances-trade, contracts, handling of money, loans, trusts, etc. Some more recent examples in this category are how some financial institutions within "Western Democracy" are incorporating concepts from "Islamic Banking".

a reply to: Raggedymanwe mutilate boys at birth on the regular here? Not defending female circumcision in any way it is horrible, but I would not have chosen to be circumcised if given the choice. It's more pleasurable with your foreskin and that sucks for me. I'd sue if I could.

a reply to: enlightenedservantI know that. I was just applying the persons complaint about female circumcision to the forced circumcision we do every day to babies in America. If she is going to complain about one and not the other than she is just looking for something to complain about.

I have no idea what it would actually look like or what it entails
It looks like a pile of severed limbs, mashed heads from being stoned to death, blood and insanity.
If a woman is raped, it's her fault and she is killed/punished!
Gays are murdered. Atheists are murdered.
Shariah law is barbarism at it's most insane!
Easy to recognize!
Xtians seem to want their version!
Somehow, I don't think that is completely accurate.

That's not an answer
Though seriously I don't see anything going on in your system, just see a progression of leaders or wanna be leaders calling themselves Christian to get the top job
I see very little Christianity in your country, mine as well

So what's the Christian version?
The reality is I didn't like the patronizing tone considering the op doesn't know anything
