"There has never been anything to be taken for granted about the very existence of democracy in Israel. It emerged . . . in an environment about as
favorable to liberal democracy as the Dead Sea is to fishing. Nevertheless, Israel over time became more—rather than less, as is often claimed—
of a liberal democracy." Alexander Yakobson, Israeli historian
Hi, it is pretty evident that Israel became more democratic according the author, but why did he put this "of" before "a liberal democracy"?
