- text: In the light of the current spate of organised vandalism perpetrated in the
    names of Eco This or Stop Something Else, haven’t we seen this kind of near mass-hysterical
    action before? With certain obvious exceptions, most of the activists appear to
    be in the teens to early twenties bracket, and of a comfortable so-called middle-class
    group. In any event, they have been persuaded that this business of ‘climate change’
    which has steadily become some sort of cult, is about to destroy all life as we
    know it. In reality, the world’s climate has been changing since the ‘Big Bang’
    and will continue so to do until the whole thing eventually fizzles out. They
    have not yet cottoned on to the fact that by far the biggest threat to human existence
    is that of overpopulation. What is more disturbing, however, is the ease with
    which they have been recruited into behaving as they do – with no regard to everybody
    else’s opinions and wishes. Whether by disrupting a Snooker Tournament, the Grand
    National, obstructing motorways or whatever else, it is clear that there is a
    core group of these ‘eco’ fanatics who can be directed to any place or event that
    somebody decides should be attacked, whenever and wherever they choose. For this
    to happen, there has to be a hierarchy at large, as opposed to and directing the
    cannon fodder who actually make the mischief. As we have seen on various other
    occasions, it is those ‘useful idiots’ who do the dirty work while the organisers
    stay safely away and laugh at those gullible enough to take it all in, regardless
    of the veracity of their cause’ or the consequences of their mindless actions.
    This is not new by any means. The Nazis in pre-war Germany used similar tactics
    involving some sort of brainwashing and intimidation, which resulted in the emergence
    of Hitler Youth and we all know what a misguided bunch they eventually turned
    out to be. Of more concern these days is the potential for the organisers of these
    events to bring together at short notice a substantial gang of activists who can
    be easily manipulated into carrying out acts of serious civil disobedience against
    any stratum of society they decide needs their form of correction or treatment.
    This is a form of grooming  however you look at it. Of course, there will be a
    percentage who will duck out of any really serious civil disorder, but that would
    still leave a substantial number of organised troublemakers who will relish the
    thought of seizing some sort of power to affect political thought or action. This
    is generally accompanied by those seeking to maximise damage to public and private
    property. It is regrettable that the Courts have so far failed to acknowledge
    this current spate of ochlocracy. Meanwhile, we all have to put up with that troublesome
    element intent on testing the boundaries of a decent democratic society.

- text: 'Die Bekämpfung illegaler Migration ist eine gemeinsame Priorität von Österreich
    und Indien, gerade vor dem Hintergrund der dramatisch gestiegenen Ankunftszahlen
    illegaler Migrantinnen und Migranten aus Indien im vergangenen Jahr. Ausdruck
    dessen findet sich im Abkommen über eine umfassende Migrations- und Mobilitätspartnerschaft,
    die Außenminister Alexander Schallenberg und sein indischer Amtskollege, Subrahmanyam
    Jaishankar, am Rande des EU-Indopazifik-Ministerforums in Stockholm unterzeichnet
    haben. Damit wurde erstmals eine vertragliche Grundlage für Rückführungen nach
    Indien geschaffen, die zusammen mit der erfolgten Abschaffung der visafreien Einreise
    aus Indien nach Serbien, für die sich Kanzler und Innenminister erfolgreich eingesetzt
    haben, zu einem noch deutlicheren Rückgang der illegalen Migration aus Indien
    führen wird. Aber es geht dabei nicht nur um die Bekämpfung von illegaler Migration,
    sondern auch viel mehr um die Stärkung legaler Migrationsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere
    für die Fachkräfte, die Österreich dringend benötigt. Hierbei soll zukünftig zuerst
    Kontakt zwischen Firmen und den potentiellen Arbeitskräften hergestellt werden,
    wobei die Zusammenarbeit zwischen staatlichen Agenturen indischen Staatsangehörigen
    erleichtern soll, einen geeigneten Arbeitgeber in Österreich zu finden. Ein verbesserter
    Austausch von Studierenden und eine zügige Visavergabe, vor allem für Journalistinnen
    und Journalisten sowie in der Wissenschaft ist ebenfalls vorgesehen. Für junge
    Menschen wird darüber hinaus die Chance geschaffen, durch ein Working Holiday
    Programm im Zielland kurze, befristete Arbeitsverhältnisse einzugehen oder Bildungseinrichtungen
    ohne Beschäftigungsbewilligung zu nutzen. Außenminister Alexander Schallenberg:
    „Das Abkommen ist ein Meilenstein in unseren Beziehungen mit dem bevölkerungsreichsten
    Land der Welt. Es schafft Möglichkeiten, indische Arbeitskräfte beispielsweise
    im Rahmen der Rot-Weiß-Rot Karte nach Österreich zu bringen. Hochqualifizierte
    Inderinnen und Inder können nun dort Lücken schließen, wo es in Österreich an
    Arbeitskräften fehlt.“'

## Facebook/bart-large-cnn model

This model is intended to summarize political texts regarding climate change, the environment and energy. The model was fine-tuned on 7k political party press releases from 66 parties in 12 different countries and is intended to identify the primary issue of the press release, the position of the party on the primary issue, and a 1-2 sentence summary. 
Training Data primarily consists of GPT-4 responses asking for summaries of the press releases. Small modifications were also made to the summaries from GPT-4 when validating the responses. I also made all the training text summaries lower case by accident, so outputs are lowercase. 

**Note** The model is pretty good at identifying the primary issue of any text, but it'll refer to the author of the text as 'the party' and summarize the "position" of *the party* as such. 

**Countries included in Training Data** = ['Italy', 'Sweden', 'Switzerland', 'Netherlands', 'Germany', 'Denmark', 'Spain', 'UK', 'Austria', 'Poland', 'Ireland', 'France']
