Twitter allows its users to post/share and read short messages known as tweets. Tweets can be of three types - Positive Tweets (in support), Negative Tweets (against) and Neutral Tweets. The following table presents the Number of Votes and Tweets received by certain political parties. Parties | Votes 2000 | Votes 2005 | Votes 2010 | Total No. of Tweets (2010) | Positive Tweets (%) | Negative Tweets (%) A | 329,700 | 343,200 | 364,450 | 131,021 | 33.30% | 35.40% B | 133,450 | 154,000 | 241,325 | 108,128 | 30.40% | 29.70% C | 196,250 | 123,200 | 162,525 | 96,620 | 32.50% | 26.60% D | 27,475 | 48,400 | 54,175 | 41,524 | 30.60% | 36.10% E | - | 30,800 | 49,250 | 32,724 | 21.60% | 41.00% Other Parties* | 98,125 | 180,400 | 113,275 | 15,000 | - | - * Any party which has secured less than 2% of the total votes falls under 'Other Parties' category.
