How healthy is the government in your country?

I live in the US but want answers from jellies all over the world.

Here in the US, there seems to be great turmoil over the fact that the current administration leans a certain way. I contend that the resulting public debate is a healthy thing. Some of it’s more extreme elements are unwarranted and wrong, but the fact that people are free to express their views is the sign of a nation rooted in fundamental rights of individuals. That’s a good thing.

How healthy is civil discourse in your country? Are you free to publicly express your views? What are your views of your form of government?
