United Kingdom Independents

Progress

This page has been added to provide visitors with update on the progress of this initiative in fostering interest in a growth in independent representation of British constituents at the next General Election.

22/03/2023: The updated Boolean Library paper "What is the Real Incomes Approach to Economics?" has been posted on the "Potential Solutions" section.

We are also adding the Forum section recording email contributions.

21/03/2023: The posting of the Boolean Library paper in the "Potential Solutions" section has been slightly delayed because content additional to the original paper is being added to "complete the story".

06/03/2023: We are receiving material relevant to other issue domainsso we will "initiate" these are add information as it is received as we continueto complete the macroecomomic policy issues section. This means the other domain links will become live in the orderin the coloure table menu on the issues page.

05/03/2023: There has been a significant response to the Boolean Library content explaining the basics of a Real Incomes Policy. Many emails contain many questions. Most refer to missing details of which we are aware because this policy needs to be presented in a layered fashion to avoid confusion. Over the next day or so these will be answered within the issues content in order to add clarity to sections in context with the narative. These, with the permission of the Boolean Library, will be added as boxes within the Boolean Library content at the appropriate points.

04/03/2023: Progress has slowed up as discussions surround on how best to introduce the Real Incomes policy Price Performance Policy. Objective to simplify it because can be counter-intuitive for some.

If anyone has information on how Modern Monetary Theory handles tacit & explicit knowledge, innovation and productivity we would be grateful for input. We don't want to appear critical but so far we have not found any useful information. However the same is also true for Keynesianism, Monetarism & Supply Side Economics.

01/03/2023: 2 emails noted that in the main narrative we have not explained the development and application of supply side economics. We will add this at the relevant location in the historic narrative. Progress on initial completion of macroeconomic policy issues continues and will be added as appropirate according to work schedule.

27/02/2023: We have already received comments via email and these are being reviewed.

They are split between confirmations of the content so far, some additional information and questions which relate to forthcoming content currently in preparation.

As stated we have an information overload largely arising from the last weekend's workshop and we are still attempting to prepare content. This relates to a more complete explanation of the Real Incomes Approach policies and then a comparison table of the contending theories and policies.

27/02/2023: We completed the first workshop during 25/26 February on macroeconomic theory and policy. There was so much input that we have been delayed in preparing content for this site. Please note what is presented is a general analysis and we welcome correctives and additions from those interested. Such information can be sent in by email or as open commentary on Twitter.

After just 2 days of the website being posted and even before completion of content, by far the largest number of visits have come from the USA. All are aware, of course, that the USA faces a uniparty bent on remaining in power so they face similar conditions. We are reaching out to similar organizations that promote independents in the USA to share knowledge on this important topic.

Thank you for emails expressing support and suggestions as to content.

Currently we are not associated with any other initiative other than "Politics without parties" http://www.politicswithoutparties.org.uk

Several organizations have expressed interest and these might develop into associations or sponsorships.

We are still evaluating the most appropriate approach to handling the identity of contributors.

At the moment there is a preference to use Twitter so that there are no issues by permitting contributors to self-identify.
