Education is a bad indicator for the health of a democracy. Looks like the US isn't doing any better with democracy despite having higher education levels.
Can you tell me exactly what you mean by this? It's a different thing to compare public sentiment (which seems to be vastly different between the two countries), and it's different to compare standard of living and economical factors (which are again vastly different between the two countries). It seems like you are picking one and comparing it to the other, is that correct?
