- wobbly_bush 6y agoThat report places India behind the following countries in terms of political stability - Colombia, Bahrain, Tunisia, Burkina Faso, Togo. A country which got democracy 7 years ago is ranked higher than one that got it almost 60 years ago. That data point alone makes me question the rest of the report.
- jcranmer 6y agoThe age at which you got democracy isn't necessarily correlated with the quality of that democracy. Ask the US.
- wobbly_bush 6y agoThe metric is political stability, not quality of democracy. Are you saying that years of elections, smooth changes in leadership, free and fair elections as observed by international observers doesn't account for anything? That's the kind of reporting typically expected from folks who have no idea about the ground realities in developing countries. To contrast, the report has France at a high political stability score of 80 whereas it has had 5 prime ministers in 6 years. How is that politically stable?
