Someone asked me if I thought that the political opinions of twitter users would be a true reflection of the voting public. I mused for a while, thinking about the twitter demographic and decided that a twitter poll would probably show a similar skew to those run by news papers or TV channels.
It seems however that Twitter's election predictions proved pretty accurate.
Final Tweetminster prediction was:
Conservatives 35%
Labour 30%
Liberal Democrats 27%
Others 8%
The actual results were:
Conservatives 37%
Labour 30%
Liberal Democrats 24%
Others 10%
