Politics without parties

This section is in preparation...

The identification of circumstances needing change and the selection and use of available information involves a process of decision analysis. This combines deductive reasoning with consensus on objectives so as to complete analyses to identify feasible solution whose mechanisms are acceptable to all.

Damaging algorithmic misrepresentations

Big tech companies such as Google and Facebook are reluctant to admit many of the so-called AI algorithms they are selling to military and security services do not work effectively. This relates to "face recognition" and "large language translation". Their widespread use on social media can cause serious misunderstandings.

The limitations in these particular techniques have been known throughout their development period which covers 1950s through to date. Face recognition was a much analysed topic first mentioned in Japanese work published in the Pattern Recognition Society bulletin in 1970. Large language transaltion was developed as a volume translation service involving multiple language-pairs at the European Commission. As a result of this intensive application across many subject matters, the failures, associated with specific language-pairs and subject context, were well established. In professional environments, human translators post-edit machine translated content to publishable quality and to avoid misrepresentation. The European Commission (which has been researching and using machine translation since the 1960s) found that,

"as long as translation can be restricted in subject matter or by document type ... improvements in quality can be achieved" (Hutchins, 2005).

Big tech companies do not provide such a precautionary filter.

Those who attempt to explain such facts are ostracized and treated as whistle-blowers and are sacked and pursued by these corporations who continue to earn a considerable amount of money by selling faulty systems or online services.

Decision analysis is a discipline that make use of transparent procedures and methods which can be applied to analysing why gaps in provisions occur as well as identifying solutions as possible propositions for public choice. as well as helping improve the levels of clarity and communication within assemblies.

There is therefore a concern with the quality of information accessible by constituents in terms of bias, misrepresentation and censorship, all issues of concern as large internet companies (big tech) dominate the media used by the majority of constituents.

The current media bias and coercion of political party orientation is another issue of concern and one which undermines the relevance of political parties. This is because the media have become agents of political parties simply because big tech, through the impact of online technologies, have earned a large income and, as a result, have created a faction of executive with considerable financial assets which they wish to accumulate by avoiding tax and by gaining influence over political parties through financial donations the thereby gain influence over the legislation that might affect their wealth.

Currently, big tech is advancing their strategy through selective censorship and shadow-banning. Most have become stenographers of the government with very little investigative content or analysis. The public are realising this and this will result in a drop in numbers using the main "social media" in order to liberate themselves from distorted information.

Building a more effective independent media is a way forward and this is an important item in this section. Although not immediately apparent, the more the population looks to a democractic base and procedures that ignore political parties, the more independent the media will become with less self-censorship and with a desire to improve the quality and relevance of information circulating on important issues.

Techniques in seeking approval based on the facts is an important procedure for participatory policy development and choice and these will be explored in this section.

This section will provide the basic due diligence procedures that are best followed in order to identify, collect, assess and prepare information for groups preparing propositions as well as for assemblies charged with decisions on which propositions to accepts as national or community solutions to identified gaps in provisions.

It is time for a politics without parties!!
