      What makes the city of Hong Kong less of a regime than the rest of China? How does that even work?

      It really shouldn’t be. Half of the legislature isn’t democratic.

      The current shower seem very intent on changing that it seems.

      Any idea why France, Belgium and Italy are so (relatively) low?

      The American one is interesting, they have territories that they do not allow representation in their legislature. Colonies essentially. All the obvious stuff aside that’s mad

      If there is one thing we can be proud of here, it’s the degree to which we went from an imperial possession to a full democracy and stayed that way through considerable headwinds.

      Mexico as a hybrid regime?

      Ahahahaha, wow.

      Also, Ukraine as a hybrid regime inclined towards an authoritarian one?

      Democracy ?

      So I put my 123 on a piece of paper every 5 years and that’s democracy ?

      Where are the local legislators ?

      Where is our local government ?

      Town councils abolished – no input on anything here anymore.

      There’s not even a forum online or offline to input any critique of roads.

      Anything outside of the M50 is blatantly ignored.

      Democracy my arse.

      You can tell the map is full of shite because it lists the UK as one of the most democratic places in the world.

      It’s literally a theocratic monarchy, and proudly so.
      Of their two houses of parliament their upper house is completely unelected.

      But yeah according to this map the UK and apartheid Israel are some of the most democratic places in the world, but Cuba is one of the least democratic.

      We can complain about our leaders and our system but one thing I like is how accessible or relatively normal they are.

      Simon Harris lives in a housing estate, easily findable but mostly left alone.

      I’ve seen Brian Cowen slight inebriated at a function no minders or bodyguards just like any other aul lad.
      Michael D Higgins at FAI matches just chatting.

      The media keeps totally out of their personal lives as well which is important.
      There was more outrage about the reporting of Varadkar in a nightclub rather than him being in a nightclub or him shifting a random.

      Compare that to some of the headcases in other countries who never really interact with a voter.

      I’m really not a fan of these indexes. They’re quantifying something that is, at least to some degree, subjective.

      The Economist Intelligence Unit will have their own biases.

      Yeah, but we keep voting in the same shower every election.

      What kinda fucking nonsense is this. A fucking democracy index.

      Yeah we have direct democracy do we?

      Mad state of affairs, the world is in.

      There is no democracy in Ireland, or at least what I would like a democracy to be…

    18. MilBrocEire on

      How are many continental republics like France less democratic than the UK, when the UK technically has two of its branches unelected, in the head of state and house of lords? Not to mention that many if not most of those elected to cabinet come from the same secondary school! Another absurd map.
