A new report has found serious concerns about the state of global democracy as more countries slip in democratic performance.
Global patterns show that democracy around the world continued to weaken last year, according to a new report.
The Global State of Democracy 2025, published by the Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), analyzed democratic performance in 173 countries in 2024.
In the report, 94 countries — or just over half of those surveyed — showed a decline in at least one of the key democracy indicators between 2019 and 2024, the report said. In comparison, only a third made progress.
There are only a bit more than 3000 billionaires globally. We had WAY more kings and lords. The ruling class has concentrated power like never before. If we go back to something like feudalism, it’ll be a MUCH worse version of it.
Agreed, as they say, we are living in “interesting” times.
Yeah and that’s the worst thing to wish upon someone ain’t it 😭
Yes it is!
