Will tweets and blogs win the next election?

Tweetminster have put together an analysis carried out over the past 12 months of polititians who tweet.

They have found that there are now more MPs tweeting than there are ones blogging,17 per cent of MP's now tweet with 59 pr cent comoing from the Labour benches.

The report also analysed media, journalists and influencers. While established media, like The Economist, The Guardian, Sky News and the Financial Times top the list for most followers, journalists (Channel 4’s @krishgm), bloggers (@timmontgomerie and @iaindale) and activists (@bevaniteellie) receive more mentions and retweets - they and, not the Sun, are more likely to win it on Twitter.
