According to the index, less than 5% of the world’s population lives in a “full democracy”, we reported at the beginning of this year

kylemmorrow Canada should be on the list of flawed democracies as well, maybe in true form we'll just be a year or two behind the U.S.

Spain full democracy?

Backsliding and Reversal: The J Curve Revisited

México is not a flawed democratic country, yet. Is less than authoritarian town.

So true . It is definitely not a democratic process to have a president who lost popular vote to the loser of election and got fewer votes than loser...!!The entire process is seriously flawed and needs to be rectified.

You’ve gone full economist. Not even the economist should go full economist.

Thanks Spankmeister

America is not meant to be a full democracy, but it can perfect it’s republican values further.

?

Along with France the 'cradle of Western democracy.' That is funny

We can't forget the USA is a republic, with a democratic representative government. The process of electing our representatives is flawed.

All Democracy is flawed. President Trumps election wasn’t a flaw but a feature of the electoral college. Whether you loathe him or love him his election does not demonstrate a failing of our democracy.

I just wonder how the US will be like in two years (till Trump administration will keep its being).

Interesting to see Spain being effectively compared to the... UK.

this poor especially from you. we cannot grade a country based on one president

Who thinks they have the status or right to classify democracy. Only those who think they have a superior view to anyone else.

To claim that the US has ceased to be a full democracy just because it elected Trump is beyond silly. For starters, free speech protections in the US remain stronger than in most (if not all) of the so-called “full democracies” in your graphic.

Democracy is sweet but doesn’t guarantee all right. Democracy has made Trump presidency in US and delivered Brexit in UK.

White people must fight for their freedom. Tell that to your brain washed sister who has female privilege, and people of all races throw at her.

It's certainly more flawed than ever, with Trump, but the party getting fewer votes has mostly had control at all levels for years.

Winnie_Byanyima we all know the secret behind this. like trump, even the savior (Jesus) was harassed, tortured and HATED... but he wasn't defeated at all.

America just had the largest election turnout ever, but ok

All “Democracies” are currently campaigning against “white male privilege”, which directly effects the birth rate and employment of majority white countries. You can’t even take a social studies or sociology course in a high school without being intentionally demoralized.

All thanks to realDonaldTrump. Despots around the world feel they have a comrade in the White House. Multilateral agreements are being torn up. Countries are pulling out of their international obligations, Government shut down and the American people held hostage for a wall

The Concept of Individual Responsibility is Most Efficient. This would mean far less crime, taxes, far few police officers, doctors and government workers...IF a society were to Actually based Democracy upon Reality. Unfortunately the American people never learned how to.

Ridiculously HILARIOUS

Reason: Donald Trump.

Hahahaha, Spain a full democracy...

Good luck USA! Trump er NU SELV blevet til hvad han ellers har sagt om en præsident i 2004: 'It's almost like the United States has no President' USA's TWITTER-præsident burde afsættes. Twitter-præsidenten skider på 'Good governance' POTUS realDonaldTrump politics

Economist article from a few years ago 'Venezuela, the model the world should be following'

Harsh words from a country with no free speech protections.

only 24% voted for winning party in uk..

What patent nonsense.
