Lede content

I've removed some content that was recently added to the lede of the article, moved over from the existing Politics of Brazil article. I don't see any indication here that the material from the lede of Politics of Brazil necessarily applies to the Empire of Brazil. In the absence of citations proving that these were the political conditions in the Empire of Brazil, the content should be removed. Pinging Arthur Brum; if there exist citations for these claims, or if they are already cited in the body of this article and I have simply missed them, feel free to revert. /wiae /tlk 01:26, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
