Democracy Cuban style

The BBC breathlessly report that "Raul Castro has been unanimously selected to succeed his brother Fidel as leader by Cuba's National Assembly."

Most impressive; "unanimously selected", he must be really popular if all of the National Assembly voted for him. What an amazing democratic result.

Hold on though, what the BBC don't see fit to tell the public is that Cuba has only one legal political party - the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC). At the recent elections there was a grand total of one candidate for each seat in the National Assembly, all obviously from the PCC.


The BBC proud to support Communist dictators.
