Can you name the Democratic countries that have had a honest election
Discussion
100% honest election ain't a thing, but of those you listed i'd say only Serbia is good (thanks to the EU mostly), south Africa's and India's elections are recked with problems but minimally functional overall, all the rest are either hybrid regimes or outright dictatorships
My point is however if no country has 100% honest elections why are you pointing a finger at these countries as undemocratic specifically ? Somehow Macron is still president in the "birth place" of democracy after being defeated twice, SFD in Germany is about to be banned, Romania canceled an election outright and in the US they are about to ban the ability or protest against Israel.
Well Macron was not defeated, I mean his party lost in the parliament but he won for president, so nothing wrong here (sadly)
But yeah, democracy is not really a thing anywhere, but my point is, where is it safer to speak out against the government, Germany, France or the US? Or in Russia, Iran or North Korea?
For all of its problems, the US and Europe still have due legal process, in Russia people got 15 year sentences for holding a sign protesting against the war, big difference in my view.
