Unofficial Lib Dems overtake official Conservatives on Facebook
I wrote previously about how often it is the unofficial online groups supporting a party or candidate that garner energy and enthusiasm beyond that which the official presences manage.
That’s been demonstrated again today, in the aftermath of the first televised debate between the party leaders. Paul Waugh has documented how various official party profiles have been boosted, but the most dramatic progress continues to be made by the unofficial group We got Rage Against the Machine to #1, we can get the Lib Dems into office!
That group has now topped two symbolic numbers: over 50,000 members and more members than the number of fans for the official Conservative Party page on Facebook.
