Hoeveelste staat Oekraïne?

Waardeloze enquete.
België krijgt voor ‘toegang tot stemrecht’ een 5/10 omdat er opkomstplicht is. Belachelijker kan niet. |
Citaat:
In andere draden heb ik al vaak gezegd dat ik voorstander ben van de opkomstplicht, als praktische uitvoering van het grondwettelijk artikel dat stelt: de stemming is verplicht. Maar blijkbaar vinden ze in de rest van de wereld zo'n verplichting ... communistisch-dictatoriaal. |

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comm...3_decomocracy/ level 3 frisouille · 3 hr. ago · edited 1 hr. ago So Belgium has an average score of 7.64 (the threshold for full democracy being 8.00) which is the average of: Electoral process and pluralism 9.58 Functioning of government 8.21 Political participation 5.00 Political culture 6.88 Civil liberties 8.53 So clearly it's "political participation" which drags it into "flawed democracy" (and also a bit "political culture"). Here is the list of questions, along with the grades I think it got: 27 (B=0) Voter participation/turn-out for national elections. If voting is obligatory score 0. 28 (B=?): Do ethnic, religious and other minorities have a reasonable degree of autonomy and voice in the political process? (1="yes", 0.5="yes but serious flaws exist", 0="No") 29 (B=1): Women in parliament (1 if more than 20% of seats) 30 (B=0.5): Extent of political participation. Mempership of political parties and political non-governmental organisations (1="over 7% of population for either", 0.5 if "4-7%", 0 if under 4%, 0 if participation is forced) 31 (B=0): Citizen's engagement with politics (According to the 2008 EVS/WVS survey Belgium should have 0, because only 33.5% said they are somewhat/very interested in politics, it seems Belgium was not included in the 2017 EVS/WVS) 32 (B=1): The preparedness of population to take part in lawful demonstrations (Belgium should have 1 because 62% said they might attend lawful demonstrations). 33 (B=1): Adult literacy (1 if over 90%) 34 (B=?) Extent to which adult population shows an interest in and follows politics in the news (for countries with WVS it's 1="over 50% follow politics in the news every day", 0.5 if "30-50%", 0 if "less than 30%") 35 (B=0): The authorities make a serious effort to promote political participation (consider the role of the education system, and other promotional efforts. Consider measures to facilitate voting by members of the diaspora, if participation is forced, score 0) I count 3.5/7, so Belgium must have gotten 1 point on 28+34 (because 5/10 = 4.5/9). Forced vote takes 2 points out. It's the same for Luxembourg (6.67 in "political participation" but the rest is so high it averages to 8.81), Austrialia (7.78 in "political participation", averages to 8.71). I understand that they don't want to give a high grade for participation when it's forced: it doesn't prove an interest in voting from the population. But scoring 0 is super harsh. If you add those 2 points, Belgium gets an average of 8.08 which qualifies as "full-democracy". If you exclude those questions from the "political participation", Belgium gets an average of 7.93. |

Je ziet, alles is relatief. |
Nog steeds geen verbetering in 2024. We blijven in West-Europa achteraan bengelen. En met Arizona dat de rechtszekerheid compleet ondergraaft zullen we volgend jaar vermoedelijk nog slechter scoren. Portugal en Griekenland zijn in tegenstelling tot onze bananenrepubliek ondertussen wel democratieën.

Muilkorfwetten en het systematisch uitsluiten van regeren van sommige politieke partijen zullen de score van “ons” onland geen deugd doen.
