THE POLITICAL PARTY'S CYBER WARRIORS

I know it is not an exact science, due to the fact that you can follow more than one party and you don't have to support the party to be following them. But I thought it would still be interesting just to see how many followers each party has at the moment. Obviously there is bloggers and tweeters who are independent of the parties and in some cases have more followers but it is just interesting to see who is getting followed.

Interesting to see how the Conservatives have the edge by 10k on Facebook and how many more people follow the BNP on facebook than on twitter. It amazes me the amount of people who will use an account which gives up a lot of details and have attributed to them some of the comments which they have made. Takes all sorts I guess.
