Romania Downgraded To “Hybrid Regime” In The Economist Index
-
Four years and one skipped election later, USA may get that categorization. It's already listed as Flawed Democracy by this metric.
-
Mexico is lower than the US? Last I checked they still had free elections and rule of law lmao
-
What happens in USA right now is a banana republic shit. The State has fallen. I AM THE STATE: says trump.
-
If Trump is not removed, the USA will go lower and lower. One month have passed and USA has no friends already.
-
I'd imagine that the drug cartels make some of the regions in Mexico significantly worse from a everyday perspective.
-
Ironically, Hungary, which hasn't switched prime minister in 15 years, is higher than Romania on this index. So take from that what you will.
-
wow, so this index is completely useless!
-
Yeah, but I'm not sure what metrics they're using, but it's pretty clear from the context. An analogy, if a student doesn't turn in homework, actively tells a teacher to fuck off, causes disruptions that harm other students; technically they haven't failed until grades are turned in.
-
I really haven't been impressed with the democracy index.
-
The Economist is a British newspaper. No Americans here.
-
Idk man. It's hard to beat immigrant concentration camps and trans genocide.
-
Yeah, imagine living under Cartel law, must not be the best experience.
-
And for sure not a very democratic one.
