Admiral Nelsen Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 59 minutes ago, old darwen blue said: What does that mean and where does India’s caste system fit into a democracy? It's one of four categories that countries can be assigned to after being given a score on various things, civil liberties, free elections, levels of corruption etc. i) Full Democracy, ii) Flawed Democracy iii) Hybrid Regime iv) Authoritarian The definition for flawed democracies are states in which "elections are fair and free and basic civil liberties are honoured but may have issues (e.g. media freedom infringement). These nations have significant faults in other democratic aspects, including underdeveloped political culture, low levels of participation in politics, and issues in the functioning of governance." Not perfect labels by any means (the US is classed as a flawed democracy too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdoggsteel Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Can you count the UK as a flawed democracy after BREXIT? As in it was democratically voted for, but hasn't happened/isn't happening ?? I am half joking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commondore Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'd rather have the clueless, probably half-crooked Venkys than watch Rovers become another tool for a regressive, reactionary, dictatorial regime to get fools to look at them more favorably. Regardless of financial support. YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Rassragr Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'm not a fan of some billionaire slave owner buying the club in order to mask their human rights abuses and backing for secetarian wars in Yemen and Syria. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deryck guyler's spoon Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 At the risk of dragging this into Geo Politics, does everybody's favourites Barca cop grief for their Qatari links? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Rassragr Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 They've gotten away with it, as it initially appears to be a shirt sponsor. However, there are probably other less publicised ways the two work together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
