Talk:Elections in Cuba/RFC on Lede

RFC on Lede Paragraph
Should the lede paragraph of Elections in Cuba be revised as follows? It currently reads: Should this be changed to read:

Please answer Yes in favor of the change or No to oppose the change, followed by a brief statement, in the Survey. Do not reply to other editors in the Survey. Back-and-forth discussion is permitted in the Discussion section; that's what it's for.

Rationale for Yes (change to lede)
The lede should either introduce according to whom Cuba is not democratic or be more specific about the ways it is less democratic.

Democracy is a notoriously difficult subject to measure and also actively politicized to push narratives.

It is important to realize there are different, major points of view of what a democracy (a government by the people, for the people) should look like.

The goal of Wikipedia is to offer a neutral point of view, which tries to balance the major perspectives on any given topic.

Unconditionally calling Cuba not a democracy goes against the principle of Wikivoice to present facts as facts and opinions as opinions.

The current government is better described as a heavy compromise between the ideals of Democracy and the reality of the situation it is placed in.

Before you decide, I'd like you to also consider other democracies that are also a heavy compromise between the ideals of democracy and the reality of the situations they were placed in, and if they should then also be counted as democratic or not democratic by your own standard.

Rationale for No (leave lede as is)
We do not engage in wp:or or second-guess RS. If RS say it is undemocratic so do we. If RS do not draw conclusions or inferences, neither do we. We can only say what RS actually say (per wp:v)

wp:NPOV does not mean we have to have WP:FALSEBALANCE.
