Siamo tutti un po’ stufi di tutte queste sciocchezze elettorali, ma ci consideriamo ragazzi fortunati. La maggior parte del mondo non è così fortunata. Non dare per scontata la nostra democrazia: indice della democrazia a livello mondiale nel 2023.

Most of the western world is the same, we’re not competing with Uganda. This map is rather pointless to post unless you’re just trying to condition.
What do you think lads?
I fucking love PR-STV

the fact that our election is so boring and that no one is believing big promises or looking for politicians to make them happy or to punish their enemies is a very good thing.
It’s something we should cherish.
Think it’s important to note that more democracy isn’t always good once you reach a certain point. Ours is in many ways not the most efficient.
Where does the EU sit in the democracy index ? and does the index take global corporations into account ?
It’s even better than that – we are (edit) 7th overall. There is plenty I will bitch and moan about with this country, but we routinely rank near the very top of almost every freedom index (which I love pointing out to Americans who have some mad idea they are the ‘freest in the world!!’ despite rarely getting into top 10s, and often not top 20s).

Don’t look at 6th. ***Don’t look at 6th!***
Bit of anarchy surely good no
I’m enjoying the election and that enjoyment should just about hold out another 3 days.
We are relatively more fortunate than others, I think most points of view are given a credible representation.
What’s a full democracy? Is it the amount of alternatives you can vote for for?
Christ, what a load of nonsense. How is USA a flawed democracy yet Ireland is a full democracy? How is UK *less* of a full democracy than Ireland? Who makes this shit up 
I like to see us as an somewhat apolotical nation compared to other countries. I hope it keeps that way.
Democracy is an illusion. Voting has very little impact given how little state capacity we have. Who we elect has little impact on crucial things like housing or infrastructure or the economy.
The US is easy to argue. The way the electoral college works. Gerrymandering. The way voting registers can get purged in the lead up to elections. No voter ID when voting. Attacks on ballot drop-off points. Rampant misinformation. Etc.
Woohoo. We get who we vote for! 🙂
Oh noe. We get who we vote for. 🙁
What 100 years of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael gets you, I suppose.
I wonder what system those guys on Sentinel Island use. Democracy? Monarchy? Celestial guidance from extraterrestrials through psychedelically-enhanced communion?
Can anybody explain how we have a democracy when a very large percentage of items in election manifestos are not implemented?
When the same two parties can’t concoct a cosy little arrangement to get themselves into government I’ll count myself lucky.
I think a democracy where jouranlists are rewarded with jobs by the politicians they are held to account should class a democracy as flawed.
It’s funny, Ireland is nearly fully democratic, Vietnam is labelled Authoritarian yet I felt about 10 times more freedom living there.
Thankfully it’s no where near what American politicians are like, imagine potentially having sex offenders in positions of power or gobshite Musk
Yeah I was saddened by the yanks picking the Cheeto faced shitgibbon again and then I saw our election and was relieved by its civil nature.
And relative lack of absolute insanity and people who with some exceptions won’t turn the nation into an autocratic nightmare.
Democracy only works with a free press and educated voters. We have both. Something to be proud of.
