It's really annoying to just see an overall ranking of democracies, rather than the actual breakdown of individual countries' ranks on each subject. In particular, I'm surprised at Belgium's high ranking, given what a basket-case that country is.
Yeah, I really wanted to see what the criteria actually were... did Imiss a link or something. It's really not much of an article without that list. The UK may score down. e.g. because we are subjects not citizens (despite that that makes approximately zero practical difference).
I mean look at the 'best country to live' one I saw the other day (I forget the link) like the that ranked countries on various factors and where the US No. 1 for health!! (spending was part of the equation, I think it must have go WAY too much weight....)
