Talk:2023 Latvian presidential election

Pīlēns' party
I would like to clarify that Uldis Pīlēns is a non-partisan candidate. He is the informal leader of the United List – however, he is officially an independent candidate and politician, which is why I have written "Independent" in the article. User:Aréat has multiple times changed this to "United List" despite sources cited in the article.

To avoid a further editing war, I have added another source to the article that clarifies that Pīlēns is independent. "I do not have official connections to the party, I also do not sit on the board of AS, which consists of three parties," says Pīlēns in the article. | LinguineFusilli (talk) 11:47, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Being the informal leader of the United List, which he founded, he's not an independent politician. His candidacy being submitted as an independent doesn't make him an independent politician. His candidacy and himself are two separate things. It's extremely misleading portraying him as something he isn't : an independent free of links with parties.--Aréat (talk) 11:52, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I could compare this with the 2018 Russian presidential elections. Vladimir Putin is non-official leader of United Russia, but he isn't officially a member of it, so he is officially non-partisan and independent. Eremu1 (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe this is a case in which the individual is even more closely associated with a political party. If I'm having a minority opinion here, though, I won't revert the change anymore. Cordially.--Aréat (talk) 12:49, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
