The electoral campaign for European Parliament elections has been dismal. But, it will remain marked by innovative applications or uses of the European Parliament itself, which he welcomed the efforts of transparency and communication and candidates who, all over Europe, have used Internet to attract voters. The star of this netcampagne is Twitter, informing supporters in real time with short messages.
According to Europatweets a hundred elected officials and candidates to the European Parliament are using Twitter to keep their supporters informed. A modest use yet, but that increases day by day. The site ranks users by country, by political group, by number of tweets sent and the most followed candidates. The real question is whether, once elected, these MPs will continue to keep their supporters informed.
The European Parliament, meanwhile, is now on Twitter in 22 languages and benefit from the immediacy of Twitter to support the election night of June 7 in real time. Tweets in english are @EU_Elections_en.
