Hello everybody! As I promised weeks ago, I now present the ranking of British Members of Parliament (as was, they currently technically aren’t because we’re in the short campaign) by how much they reference sources on Twitter. The methodology is here (see the bottom of this post for some clarifications) and the motivation is here.
This is an automatically generated list of MPs, my code counts the number of times that MPs have figures in their tweets and the number of times they are accompanied by a link.
So this is good:
…and this is bad:
Obviously it’s less than perfect scientifically, but if your MP is in the bottom quarter of the list, then perhaps it’s worth asking him/her why…. (if they aren’t on the list at all, it might be because either they lack a Twitter account or because they made less than five tweets that included a number).
So, the list:

In general I think removing MPs with a small number of tweets has been sensible (although they are still available in the github). I think that it’s nice to see that some of the bottom 16 from last time have upped their game a little bit, but there is still a lot more to do.
I’ve delivered this slightly differently than I talked about in previous posts. I was very clear about my methodology and approach and even announced when I’d collected the corpus for anonomising. The plan was to do a main list, and then do something special with the top ten people.
Unfortunately my laptop was stolen on Tuesday night, and with it the whole of my corpus. I (or my reviewers) still have the anonmised version that they’d worked very hard on, but the resources I need to match up the anonomised tweets with the real ones have gone. So that’s rubbish.
So, the full ranking of MPs above was compiled in the last 48-hours. As before you can view the code on github (modified to remove tweets before 2015), as well as each individual corpus. In the next post I’m going to do an in-depth look at the top ten, unfortunately it might be the a slightly different top 10 than given here…
