The General Election Donkey Derby
As a fun way to track how the party leaders are doing in the battle to reach 10 Downing Street and form the new UK government at Westminster,
NetVoucherCodes.co.uk are hosting a digital donkey derby by using their Twitter listening tool to measure the number of mentions of the main political parties in election tweets.
The 2019 UK General Election is set to be the most digitised ever, with the major political parties pouring more time, effort and money into online campaigning than any previous national vote.

The 2019 tweet race features all of the UK’s leading donkeys (thoroughbreds, surely? – Ed) – the SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon, the Conservatives’ Boris Johnson, the Liberal Democrats’ Jo Swinson, the Brexit Party’s Nigel Farage, Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn, the Green Party’s Siân Berry, Plaid Cymru’s Adam Price and the DUP’s Arlene Foster.
