Independent third parties are organizations or individuals that provide unbiased support or services in various contexts, such as mediation, arbitration, or evaluation. They are not affiliated with any of the primary parties involved in a dispute or transaction, ensuring that their assessments and decisions are impartial and fair. In politics, independent third parties can refer to political groups that are not aligned with the major parties, like the Green Party or the Libertarian Party. These parties often aim to represent specific issues or viewpoints that may be overlooked by the larger parties, contributing to a more diverse political landscape.
