Bij deze meting wordt gekeken naar de Facebook pagina of groep met de meeste fans/leden. Ten opzichte van maart, verliest Groen! haar leidende positie aan Vlaams Belang. Dankzij een forse advertentiecampagne met Facebook ads, gebaseerd op de “Waarom Vlaams Belang?” affichecampagne, kon Vlaams Belang op een maand tijd dubbel zoveel fans verzamelen op hun officiële pagina. Met 3.559 fans zijn zij nu veruit de grootste. Groen! groeit verder door, net als PVDA+. Sp.a boekt lichte winst, de andere partijen stagneren grotendeels. Lijst Dedecker verliest fans op Facebook, net als SLP.

2. Huffington Post
My number one news resource about American (mostly left-wing) politics. It’s free, it [...]

They have a well-followed Twitter account, their own version of MyBO (myconservatives.com) and nicely edited YouTube strategy updates by their Party Chairman, Erik Pickles.
