Italy is a disputable case but France and Germany has a good record of stable regimes. To say UK has a better quality of government is laughable. Germans pretty much understand the concept of liberty nowadays but every nation has its peculiarities.
I have no idea why they singled out Netherlands. Maybe because of their stand on all things deviant.

England and Netherlands are singled out because of the influence of Calvinism and a recognition of sphere sovereignty with parliamentary democracy. (read Herman Dooyeweerd and Abraham Kuijper).

France and Germany have good records of stable regimes? Really? What history have you been reading?

And Italy had Rome to deal with - might have turned out different if it didn’t.
