A magazine used the following criteria:
"The Economist Intelligence Unit awarded 167 countries and territories marks from 1 to 10 for 60 indicators across five broad categories: electoral process, functioning of government, political participation, political culture, and civil liberties."
. . .
"A decline in civil liberties and malfunctioning of government accounts for the U.S. position," the Economist said.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've long heard amazing kudos for Scandivania.
How did Canada rank on the list?

As it happened, I was at a seminar the other day where the state of the democracy in Sweden was discussed.
The original article was showed and discussed, but the general consensus in Sweden at least, seems to be that the current state of democracy is not good enough.
Swedes in general are not contempt with the current democracy.

Well I'm sure you're way more current than I am. Alot of my information is a little dated and comes mainly from the differences between how they were doing things in Sweden vs. Canada. I can remember back when I was a little girl, and hearing certain controversies debated in Parliament, and my Aunt or Uncle would comment on the situation in Sweden.
It's kind of like hearing the controversy about sex education in American public schools and thinking 'what's the big deal, we've been doing that for years, ...things don't fall apart' ::) or Americans hearing people are running scared in the streets because some country is considering something that has been a staple of American culture. You're like wtf? what's the big deal?
My uncle was never jingoistic or anything, it's just that what Canadians were freaked out and scared about was already common place in Sweden and had been for years. Similar with Denmark as well. But I have to say the greatest proponents in favour of Scandinavian countries being deemed as very progressive, imo, ...have been the people I've encountered from there and their ideas. An ex was Danish by descent. He had lived his entire life 26yrs at that point within a 50 mile radius of LA. He thought there was only ONE way to do things, and it was the RIGHT way. One summer he went to Denmark for a few months. He came back a completely changed man.
