So Who Won The Weekend #Hashtag Wars?


Click on the picture for a better view.

The number for the hastags were lower than I expected but then people are on holiday. It may also be due to political hashtags being mainly used by political activists.

Boris clearly has more support amongst the hashtag users of Twitter it'll be interesting to see if this is follow up with the main poll later. Perhaps it's a result of the spring in the step of the Boris campaign.

Ken has had a rough few days over the tax issue and I think some of his support is looking for other options at least on the first round. Hence some of  the success of Siobhan Benita. There is still a sizable anti Boris vote but Ken needs to up his game and move on from the tax issue if he's going to pull off victory.

Brian Paddick needs to new hashtag. He was the only tweeter to use it over the weekend. Someone else used it after I scraped it but even if I up'd it to 3 it doesn't say he'll be the next Mayor of London to me.

Please feel free to suggest more Mayor related hashtags especially the parties not represented here. This is due to an inability to find their hashtags if they have any rather than any reluctance to cover them.

These tweets we sent from the 7th April until about 6pm on the 9th.
