| Somalia is missing, but Cuba and Zimbabwe actually feature on the source list, but aren't rated as poorly as other regimes. Looking closely at the source stats they factor in 'electoral process and pluralism', 'civil liberties', 'functioning of government', 'political participation' and 'political culture'. Which is a bit questionable as it means, say, an authoritarian regime that happens to have effective rule over its subjects, or a dictatorial country with a pro-democracy movement they haven't managed to stamp out, could be rated favourably versus somewhere with actual legitimate parties and elections. |
