This paper considers the significance of the 2013 results of the elections to Cuba's National Assembly in the light of trends identified in the author's recent book, Cuba and its Neighbours: Democracy in Motion (August, 2013). Particular attention is paid to the longer-term trajectory of decline in the solidity of the ‘united’ or slate vote. Other aspects of change are noted in a process characterised as Cuban ‘democracy in motion’, rather than as a drift towards the liberal democratic model demanded by the U.S. ‘regime change’ objectives, and by other critics of Cuba's constitution.
