Israel: Murdering scientists?

[Furunculus]

That looks somewhat flawed. Looking at one of the category scores, II Functioning of government, a country becomes more democratic if people "feel like" they're a democracy. The questions also appear to be either somewhat subjective or really technical. I think it could be much better if factors such as stability and well defined social conditions were added in.

a bit like a political stability index:

medium = israel
medium/low =
low = iran

or Eurasia Groups political risk index:

or a bit like the human development index?

israel = 24
iran = 84

regardless, anyone got a better democratic index..............................................................?
