  • Evaluating Attacks on the Credibility of Politicians in Political Debates
    ISSA Proceedings 2006 – Evaluating Attacks On The Credibility Of Politicians In Political Debates 1. Introduction When analysing political argumentative discourse, we regularly come across attacks on the credibility of the participants in the discourse. By discrediting tactics, politicians intend to discourage their colleague politicians and the general public from supporting the standpoint of their opponent. In Dutch media it is suggested that the use of personal attacks in Dutch political debates has increased under the influence of international politics.[i] Although there is no empirical evidence for this claim, very recently there have been several examples in Dutch politics in which the credibility of politicians has been subject of debate. On June 24 2006 for instance, the Dutch progressive liberal party, Democrats 66 (D’66), organised elections in order to find a new party leader. The two most prominent candidates were the current Minister for Government Reform and Kingdom Relations, Alexander Pechtold, and chair of the parliamentary party, Lousewies van der Laan. In one of the debates in the build-up to the elections, van der Laan stated that her opponent Pechtold, had completely lost his credibility. First of all because Pechtold, when he was a minister, had agreed on the Uruzgan mission whereas, on an earlier occasion, he had said that under no circumstances he would agree on that mission. Secondly, because he characterised himself as an analytical person, whereas, according to van der Laan, this is not in keeping with the way in which he had profiled himself in an interview, claiming to be ‘a man who often shoots and some shots are successful’.

Twitcident has been developed to process and filter this information in real-time for interested parties by monitoring a set of predefined topics, exploiting humans as sensors. An analysis of the relevant information by an operator can result in an estimation of severity, and an operator can act accordingly. However, among all relevant and useful content that is extracted, also a lot of irrelevant noise is present. Our goal is to improve the filter in such a way that the majority of information pre- sented by Twitcident is relevant. To this end we designed an artifact consisting of several components, developed within a dynamic framework.

    20 PAÍSES BAJOS NUEVO GOBIERNO El pasado 14 de octubre se formó y posó junto a la Reina Beatriz el nuevo Gabinete Rutte, de coalición entre el partido Liberal, VVD, y el partido Democristiano, CDA, que gobernará con el apoyo del Partido para la Libertad, PVV, de tendencia antimusulmana. Tras unas elecciones anticipadas, como consecuencia de la ruptura de la coalición gubernamental anterior, y tras muchos meses de negociaciones por el difícil tablero parlamentario que resultó de las urnas, por fin se alcanzaron unos acuerdos para formar un gobierno de derechas en minoría con el apoyo de un partido de tendencia antimusulmana. El Ministro Presidente es Marc Rutte, líder del partido más votado, el partido Liberal y actualmente bien valorado por la juventud y el Vicepresidente es Máxime Verhagen, líder del Partido Demócrata-Cristiano, CDA. El nuevo ejecutivo está integrado por 12 Ministros y 8 Secretarios de Estado. El número de miembros del gobierno se ha reducido a 20; anteriormente eran 27. Hay seis ministros del VVD y otros seis del CDA. Además, hay 8 secretarios de estado, cuatro de cada uno de los partidos de la coalición. El número de ministerios ha bajado de 13 a 11. Los Ministerios de Asuntos Económicos (EZ) y el de Agricultura, Naturaleza y Calidad Alimentaria (LNV) se han unido para formar el nuevo Ministerio de Economía e Innovación. Por otra parte se han fusionado el Ministerio de Transporte y de Regulación de las Aguas (MOT) y el Ministerio de Vivienda, Ordenación Territorial y Medio Ambiente, para constituir el nuevo Ministerio de Infraestructura y Medio Ambiente.
