Tame Iti is currently doing a cycle ride through 3 Maori electorates to Auckland as part of his campaign with the Maori Party. Needless to say the media are covering it a bit, as it is not something you see every day. But it seems that Radiolive have a bit of a twisted view of it.
The Greens have had this post out for 3 hours, and it has been shared 28 times at least, but it is missing one key word “we”. It should read “Continuing our series where WE pit a co-leader”. But they have missed out the we.
I have blogged in the past about Colmar Brunton on Twitter. I talked about doing a people to follow on Twitter post about them. But I have not got around to it. But here is more proof as to why you should follow them.
Earlier today I asked on Twitter if we would see a poll this election with the Greens higher than Labour. This sparked a bit of a debate. But someone asked an interesting question:
This is the fifth in a series of posts looking at Bryce Edwards and Geoffrey Miller’s top 100 tweeters to follow this election. There was much discussion afterwards about the make up of the list, and the lack of female or ethnic members on the list. I have been thinking about it a bit as well, and felt that it was worth taking a bit of a deeper look at some of the people on the list which I have done here. I was going to look at all of the brackets, but I found that I was reaching the same conclusion over and over again. So I am going to skip the rest of the brackets and jump right to my list of top 100 followers.
This top 100 is actually going to be 51 long, as I am leaving out the MPs, as well as the many accounts that don’t really contribute to things. It is also just a list, but not an ordered one. It has been created by taking the ones I agree with from Bryce and Geoffrey’s list, along with some from Stephanie’s and adding a couple of others that I think people have missed out. I am sure that there are others that I have forgotten as well. So I will add to this as I remember people.
