Scandals are everywhere, as is corruption. In comparison, Germany is #13 on the Democracy Index [1]. It is right below The Netherlands and Switzerland, the top countries being the Scandinavian ones, plus Anglo-Saxon countries (New Zealand, Canada, Australia).

AFAIU the Democracy Index is based on, essentially, people making up numbers.

The broad classifications are probably alright, but I wouldn't pay much attention to the specific rankings.
