Tweetminster Predicts...


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%
