The scale over laps so if I country has an 8 is it flawed or is it a full democracy?

Hi - I’m from that little grey dot in the middle of the ocean. We are Bermuda. It is a democracy.

The Democracy Index has been criticised for lacking transparency and accountability beyond the numbers. To generate the index, the Economist Intelligence Unit has a scoring system in which various experts are asked to answer 60 questions and assign each reply a number, with the weighted average deciding the ranking. However, the final report does not indicate what kinds of experts, nor their number, nor whether the experts are employees of the Economist Intelligence Unit or independent scholars, nor the nationalities of the experts.
