Can you point to an instance of a non liberal democratic top leader being removed from power on account of their crimes within the established legal framework
It just seems unrelated to the concept, frankly. I'd imagine if you wanted to measure democracy you'd have to measure actual representation somehow. This is at best measuring a proxy of a proxy of representation. I find the conflation of "liberal democracy" and "rule of law" to be pretty disturbing.

“Within the legal framework” is one of those qualifiers I mentioned. Like I said, I’m not familiar with the details in the SK case.

"LIBERAL democracy" requires "rule of law".
