The parliament governs those countries, they don't have a dictator that rules by presidential decree like Trump did

When you said:
"Each democratically selects the head of government by popular vote"
Was yours a statement of ignorance, or a lie?

The Governors General work at the discression of the Parliament who can romove them if they choose.

The Head of State in each of these countries is a hereditary Monarch who cannot be removed.

Their Head of State is a hereditary monarch.
The -same- hereditary monarch.

^^^
A statement of ignorance or dishonesty,

In Canada, Australia and New Zealand. the head of government is appointed by the Crown after approval by the house of commons.

That is, in none of these countries is the head of government, or head of state, in any way, popularly elected.

How is this more democratic than the US system?

All of these English speaking countries have democratically elected Governments, Australia has

The Head of State in each of these countries is a hereditary Monarch who cannot be removed.

The head of government is not the head of state which is the crown. These English speaking countries elect their parliaments by popular vote, Australia has STV, NZ has MMP and Canada FFP, the US does not have a popular vote for the President or the Senate or effectly for the House. That's why the US is now considered as a third world country by many. Hope that helps. You should ask the English to take over and sort you drongos out.

US does not have a popular vote for the President

No western democracy popularly elects its head of government; only a handful popularly elect its head of state.

US does not have a popular vote for... the Senate

^^^^
This is a lie. All US senators are elected by popular vote.

Those countries are no more of a liberal democracy than the US - even less, in some cases.

They all score higher than the US.

It's not marked as 'flawed'.

Really.

1. The electoral college​

Ask the author:
How does the UK select its head of state and head of government?

2. Voter suppression​

A democracy that does not stake reasoned,rational and obvious steps to prevent people who cannot legally vote from doing so is... flawed.
Ask the author: What are the voter ID laws in the UK?

UK government to introduce criticised voter ID law this year

Britain's government will introduce a new law this year to crack down on the potential for voter fraud and intimidation by including rules requiring voters to prove their identities, a move critics said could deter people from casting ballots.

3. The Senate​

Every member of the senate is popularly elected, just like the house. Democracy in action.
Ask the author: How does the UK select members of the House of Lords?

4. Judges​

Ask the author:
How does the UK select its judges?

5. Redistricting​

A constitutional necessity, arrived at through the democratic process. Democracy in action.
This is only a "flaw" when a Democrat loses a seat, BTW.

Thus:
The Guardian describing Democracy in the US as "flawed" belongs next to the textbook definition of irony.

 

[M14 Shooter]

They all score higher than the US.

You'll have to post something we don't have to pay to read for anyone to give it any seraious consideration.
For now, I'll just laugh.

Two senators in California represent the same population as 14 mid West GOPer states. So the Senate does not represent popular vote. That is so corrupt its just incredible Americans put up with that crap. It's time for America to become a civilised democratic country. If you did you'd never get the likes of Trump or Bush again.

It does. In every election.
The winner of the senate election is the person who gets the majority of votes in that election.
Every time.

Guys who are really interested in accurate rifle shooting with military grade semi-auto firearms aren't interested in this rhetoric. My guess is that the posts are really left wingers or kids who never held a real rifle in their gamer lives or feds who are trolling for home invasions.

-guffaw-

A report by the The Economist Intelligence Unit, released today, reveals a host of unsettling statistics about the scope of democracy around the globe. ​

​

One such fact — that for the first time ever, the United States is no longer considered a “full democracy,” but rather a “flawed democracy” — stands out in particular as the US ushers in a president with an approval rating hovering around 40%.​

A suitable response for the dysfunctional democracy that is the US.

 

[Turtlesoup]

India managed to do it.

Ummm...no. They left the peaceful rule of the UK for constant fights with Pakistan and little skirmishes with China.

Well, The Economist Intelligence Unit actually...

Did you notice how you did not address any of my responses to the criticisms of US democracy in the article you posted?
I did.
Know why you didn't address those responses?
You can't.

I accept your concession of the point.
