The report by political UK think tank, Parliament Street, examined how MPs interact with voters on social media sites like Twitter. The study analysed the frequency and content of tweets published against the number of followers. It found that the top ten MPs had a twitter following of nearly 23,000 while the average for all MPs is usually under 4,000. Some of the top politicians were found to tweet 40 times per day on average while other MPs with fewer numbers are less enthusiastic.
