Sure it's good in sweden, but swedes are also taught since early childhood to not complain. Consensus is to be reached instead. This consensus is almost mandatory at all times.
In France you learn how to complain since early childhood, and a healthy verbal jute is to share what differences there are, not specifically to solve them at all costs.
I know both systems very well, and I think those reports based on what people say (are you happy? A swede almost cannot say no, a french wont say totally yes, ever) are indicators but bollocks for ranking.
I'd love Proportional in france BTW.
But the reports aren't specifically "are you happy?" Are they?
Like WHR uses specific quantifiable questions. Like about how much corruption in a part of government, do you typically help strangers, etc.
I definitely think it's highly subjective of course, and as a US ex pat who lives in Scandinavia the willingness to complain is so low here. But some parts of this are just a bit objectively better, so I don't think it's wildly off base that Scandinavia has high happiness
They had it until that military coup. But hey at least the second round system blows block voting, alternative vote and first-past-the-post out of the water.
