Weâre not the worst!
Weâve never been remotely in the running for âworstâ; but we tend to be on the unpleasantly low side of countries that really ought to know better.
Lousy brown nosinâ Canada. . .
We may not be the least corrupt overall, but we are the least corrupt/km^2
Denmark? The same Denmark doing this:
I guess thatâs not technically corruption, but it doesnât give one warm fuzzies either.
As a UKer, the only country above us that surprises me is Singapore (because I know embarrassingly little about the country) and the only one below us that surprises me is⌠none of them, actuallyâŚ
Yeah - that will have happened after they made this listâŚ
Guess I should move to Greenland.
They just hate us for our freedom to be corrupt.
And high-speed pizza delivery. Donât forget high-speed pizza delivery. Youâve got to have high-speed pizza delivery.
No, as an expat Dane thereâs not a lot to be proud of these days.
This is not one of them really, just business as usual⌠although thatâs what we said about our humanity and see how thatâs going.
Would love to see a study of what this has done to our goodwill, they must rank that as well. DK is run by hard-core liberals at the moment and I canât imagine this foolishness helps âBrand Denmarkâ much.
The thing that bugs me about these âmeasurements of corruptionâ reports is the yardstick they use to measure. I have a hard time accepting that lobbyists arenât a symptom of corruption, especially when many lobbyists are former elected officials. Corporate lobbyists also write many bills that become the law of the land. Not to mention the Citizens United decision and all the super-PACs. If these arenât symptoms a broken, corrupt government what are? Just because our bribes to officials are called âcampaign donationsâ doesnât make them less corrupting in nature.
*gently tips hat
The more laws, and the more complex the laws, the more lobbyists, and the more direct and indirect bribes.
Completely agree. I feel like the map tells another story about which countries do a better job at disguising their corruption.
Of course I havent read one word about how they arrive at their data, Im just angry and disgruntled.
No way, Antarcica has us beat by a mile.
Keep in mind this is not the Corruption Index; this is the Corruption Perceptions Index. Specificity is important.
This is bullshit Finland is full of good brother networks. How bad are other countries if we are number two?
