That is the propagada we have become used to from you and that I had half expected you to produce, when I read that article the other day.
And now you are calling "research" conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit "propaganda"?
Typical Replicant reply by those who refuse factual debate and resort to sarcasm ...
But as has happened more often that in the time preceding the new management at The Economist, the article is only half informed or in any case refrains from letting an understanding of how group decision making works, how it applies to democracies and how the various and multitude of forms it can take affect the efficiency and legitimacy of the political system. The article was really very disappointing from the ppint of view of informing readers uninformed on the formal side of the subject.
Pure speculation on your part.
I have researched the article and find no serious contention with EIU-methodology. Perhaps you can do so, find it and share the arguments with us?
Instead of attacking off-the-cuff one of the world's best "economics research institutions" that also sells its work successfully to private enterprise.
Until I see otherwise from you, you are groping ...
