Reliable Non-Partisan Political Information Platforms

By Anita Ortega


Debates on policy are swayed depending on the political stand of the parties involved. This makes it difficult to find non-partisan political information which would be crucial in identifying the truth underlying each issue. Blogs run by independent analysts, individuals and institutions give voters, readers and the public an opportunity to scrutinize facts and make the right decision.

The issues handled on independent blogs include affirmative action, death penalties, legalization of marijuana, government involvement in UN, abortion and the role of world super powers. There are discussions on euthanasia, oil drilling, gun control and legal immigration. Debates also involve school testing, management of budgets and becoming a citizen for foreigners or illegal immigrants. Economic debates include taxes on the rich and poor, minimum wages and performance based payments.

There is a lot of depth in the analysis especially concerning the philosophy of global wars. They juxtapose the wars with national policies and international economies. The role, rights and liberties of citizens during wars is also questioned. The experts seek to interrogate the justifications given for war and how true they are. They expound on the benefits of war to the economies and how they affect the image of the nation at a global level.

Terrorism has continued to attract international attention because of its changing faces. It has become a national and international concern with a never-ending debate on the best way to address it. There are human right issues that need to be addressed in the process of dealing with terrorism. Expert and independent analysts are at hand to present facts and examine treatment given to prisoners captured in anti-terrorism swops.

Independent bloggers glance at the past to evaluate actions and decisions made and how they have impacted on the present global environment. They seek to find value and justification for such courses. The topics that have dominated this debate include war with North Korea, the Vietnam War and missile defense. The withdrawal of troops from Iraq remains a hot topic alongside the Three Strike Law. The dividend tax cut has seen some activity over the recent past.

The hot topics at the moment are term limits for elected leaders and universal health care. Value added tax or national sales tax has captured headlines on the economic and financial circles. A lot of responses are being directed to sentiments on same sex marriages which threatens to split the public down the middle. This is a debate that has seen a lot of rumors and misrepresentation of facts.

Specialists in each sector take their time to collect facts and present them in such a way that they will be useful to the public. The pros and cons of each side are presented so that readers can make an informed decision. Only politicians and civil societies are likely to misrepresent facts or not reveal everything for their own personal gains. There are no attempts to favor any side so that readers can make a personal decision.

Non-partisan blogs are run by individuals, institutions and organizations dedicated to disbanding myths propagated by political parties. They do not hold brief for any political party. The debates are crucial in identifying the truth about issues and policies affecting populations at county, state and federal levels.
