Did you notice how you did not address any of my responses to the criticisms of US democracy in the article you posted?

They were irrelevant to the grading of the US as a flawed democracy by The Economist Intelligence Unit.

This will do for New Zealand

What's that?
New Zealand doesn't put their head of government up for a vote by the people at all?
Why... that's -- less -- democratic than the US.
How about the head of state? How does NZ select its Head of State?

This is a lie.

How do you get that? The head of the party controlling the most electoral seats forms the government. That means the person backed by the most votes from the people.

This is a lie.

That is an unsupported assertion. Much like your pretence the US has not been graded as a flawed democracy.

With the NZ system it is not possible for a leader of government to not have the support of the majority of voters.

It's doesn't need to vote in a head of state. It's the Parliament of all these countries that holds the power to pass laws through the elected Government. America the EC of the to install a president or dictator of its choosing, in the case of Trump, a very unpopular one.

Trudeau is every bit as much an idiot as xiden is.

Yeah....but at least his country doesn't actually do anything in the world so he only screws up Canada...

NZ does not hold a popular election for the PM.
Duh.

 

[M14 Shooter]

That is an unsupported assertion.

Funny how you don't even try to prove your statement true.
Must be know know you cannot.
And so, thank you for supporting my assertion.

The people of NZ do not vote for the PM, so your statement, above has no basis in reality or truth.

It's doesn't need to vote in a head of state.

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

The head of Government is not the head of State.

The head of Government is Australia is Scot Morrison who was elected, the Head of State of Australia is the Queen of Australia, Elizabeth R.

I've said this three times already, are you just taking the piss.

 

[M14 Shooter]

I've said this three times already, are you just taking the piss.

In Canada, NZ and Australia, the...
...head of state is a hreditarty monarch
...head of government is appointed by the crown and, sometimes, confirmed by the parliament.

Thus, one of two things is true:
When you said ""Each democratically selects the head of government by popular vote", you
1: Lied
2: Spoke from abject ignorance.
I am still waiting for you to tell us which.

Either way, it means that all three of those countries are LESS democratic than the US
