First, is the intractability of intra-party problem; lack of institutional autonomy, particularly those institutions that play role for democratic governance; unending intra-class (elite) and/or inter-class (elite) struggle that borders on loot sharing not on policy direction; etc

In my opinión, it may vary according to the political system. Obviously, I guess you are asking about democratic government.

First of all, you should consider for how long democracy is the regular system in the country studied. In my opinión, a core indicator is the duration of the parliamentary term -if it´s the same that it´s supposed to be-. Other indicators can be the number of political parties or groups in the parliament and how they show up or disappear. It should show some correlation with the political parties that has effective access to government responsabilities. Secondary indicators you may study is the representativeness and how difficult or not is being elected as a politician. Another indicator could be the degree of decentralization and how it works in terms of relationships between the different levels of governments.

I called out . factors 1- transparency in information dissemination and notification 2-supporting civil society 3- differentiation and the control of power by the public 4- education policy responsible for the irregularities or anomie in society 5-  The distribution of power and etc . but Each of these factors and other factors that could be associated with other variables as well.For example, it can press information and transparency and integrity of the Internet and other components of the visual media. This factor is measured in terms of affiliation or non-affiliation to power The ratings factor in the assessment of a variety of measurable and bowed to the power of the nation-state separation and destabilizing moves in the direction.However, the conditions that will review its own culture and its form of government.This question requires several hours of debate, until I can be useful to some extent be explained.Especially for people, not people like me who translated the language I used. With peace.
