Doesn't say what Karnal? Sometimes you have to figure it out for yourself.

Most countries are first past the post.

Most countries are not democracies.

Oh? I'm seeing 25 full democracies on your list, FD. The US isn't one.

Now, first you said we're giving you spin, now you're telling us to figure it out for ourselves. Which would you prefer?

Just thinking out loud here, FD, but perhaps when you raised the subject of liberal democracies, you actually meant flawed democracies.

It's the only logical conclusion we can make, dear.

Israel's even further down the list of flawed democracies than the US of A.

Australia is also a flawed democracy -
a one party State with 2 main branches: Labor and Liberal.

We saw totalitarianism during Covid.

Have you got a link for that?

FD's shows Australia close to the top of the list of full democracies.

Do you have a point Karnal?

I did not claim the US was ranked as a full democracy on the list. Do you disagree with anything I actually said? What is it you think the link does not say?

Why yes, I think I do.

The belief that Freeeedom equates to superior firepower is clearly false.

Particularly when the number one military is on a trajectory” toward authoritarian rule, according to a sobering new intelligence-style assessment by former US intelligence and national security officials, who warn that democratic backsliding is accelerating under the Trump administration – and may soon become entrenched without organized resistance..

If you truly believed those Cold War platitudes of yours, you'd have something to say about the current shift towards fascism.

The world currently hates the Israeli government not for being Jews, but for being fascists too.

Any particular reason?

Can you cite one factor, other than economic or political inclusiveness, that is more closely correlated with a country's per capita wealth or military strength?

Or is it just your own use of the word "equate" that you are tripping yourself up on?

That's because so many people vote for them Bobby. Disapproving of how other people vote does not mean you live in a dictatorship.

And power is often shared between multiple parties.

Albo got in with only 1/3rd of the vote and it was a landslide victory.

That means that 2/3rds of people didn't want him to be PM -
sounds like a great democracy - NOT. Roll Eyes

Re: the evil Jew/Israeli conspiracies Reply #143 - Oct 28^th, 2025 at 3:46pm Bobby, you are confusing democracy with everyone agreeing with each other. They are not the same thing. There can only be one PM, no matter how many different people are in the running. We do not vote so that our representatives can make half a decision.

But Albo showed no humility -

he boasted about his landslide win and never said -

oh dear - only 1/3rd of you voted for me so most of my decisions
will require opposition support.

I could cite plenty. Chi-na and Russia Russia Russia would probably meet your criteria well, but I've a question for you.

If you're here to champion liberal democracy, what is your view on the US's current global threat to it?

You haven't said.

I see. Don't want to say, eh?

All good, we have another.

Do you support your DL destroying liberal democracy as your own link shows?

Answer that, FD. A simple yes or no is all we need.
