http://www.businessinsider.com/economist-intelligence-unit-downgrades-united-states-to-flawed-democracy-2017-1 According to the EIU, "full democracies" are countries in which basic political freedoms and civil liberties are respected, and are "underpinned by a political culture conducive to the flourishing of democracy." The government functions satisfactorily; media are independent and diverse; the judiciary is independent and their decisions are enforced; and there's an effective system of checks and balances.

Calling Spain a full democracy but not USA is a joke. Wealth inequality and bank bailouts are like 10x worse there.

There is an agenda by nature, because the article was researched, written, and then published, which means, if nothing else, they thought there was something substantial about posting this list etc etc --- ...
