Serious question, what truly successful, stable and properly representative democracies are there?
Like, even if we remove the major issues around capitalism, the US democracy is as far from representing the people as democratically possible. Heck, even if you remove the electoral college it would still be a super unrepresentative democracy because of the two party system and other factors.
So what countries are out there that have functional democracies that truly represent the will of the people while being stable?

Most of the EU. Aussieland and New Zealand. Canada. Taiwan. Mongolia. Mexico and Brazil, if you’ll allow a little wiggle room in ‘stable’. Possibly SK and Japan, depending on your definitions of ‘properly representative’.
Not a definition of democracy, but if a country has Universal Healthcare. That’s a start. Healthcare in Canada needs help, but at least I know I’m not going to lose my home and life’s savings because of health. PP and Danielle Smith’s wet dream is to privatize health care.
I don’t know, but that list is suspiciously long. Are there really that many? Have I been 4chaned into believing that democracies around the world are failing?
Am in Aus, our system is doing fine. One of our major parties are moronic pieces of shit that constantly lie but that isn’t different to other places. No one is taking away our right to vote, infact the opposite. If I don’t vote in the federal election I’ll get a fine lmao
Kind of. There are a lot of serious threats to democracies around the world, but so far most seem to be holding out fairly firmly, if not necessarily ideally.
