Premise 1:
"People living in urban environments tend to be more liberal than those not living in urban environments."

This is fairly provable, just google election cartograms. Areas with high population density (cities) typically vote more democratic.

Premise 2:
"In a closed environment with a certain 'critical mass' of people, the population will increase over time"

I think we can all agree the Earth fits this description.

From these two premises, we can make the following conclusion:

"Over time, the population of the earth will increase, causing increased urbanization and an increased percentage of the population living in urban environments."

This is all pretty straightforward, I'm going to take a little jump here, though:

Assumption:
"The relationship between urban environments and a liberal viewpoint is not coincidental, but causal."

If we accept this assumption, that allows another conclusion:

"As the population of a closed system and the percentage of people living in urban environments increases, the political attitude of the population will trend toward the liberal end."

Thus, our final conclusion becomes clear:
"Any system that sees an increase in population will inevitably shift its political attitude toward a liberal mindset." or "Liberalism is inevitable. The modern conservative mindset is a dying breed."
