    There is an excellent chance the new government will not survive a vote of confidence in early January, potentially threatening further political turmoil in a key NATO ally that’s already described by the Economist Intelligence Unit as a “flawed democracy.” (Of course, as of this year, so is the United States, according to the unit’s analysts.)

    They say this as if labeling the US a flawed democracy were a reason to doubt the credibility of the Economist Intelligence Unit. If anything, that makes me more likely to take them seriously.
