Post-election Update: Compare the 2005 and 2010 political map of Britain. View live geotagged tweets over a constituency map of Britain. Zoom in to click on constituencies and view 2010 election winners. Load geotagged tweets onto the map and sample the political debate.
Twitter Controls: Use the yellow search box to search for specific terms and click to load tweets. You can enable automatic reloading, force a reload and clear the map using the panel controls. Loading status and popular hashtags are shown at the bottom of the panel.
Constituency Data: the constituency map uses the new 2010 boundaries released as Ordnance Survey Open Data, coloured by the notional 2005 election results and actual May 2010 results, as provided by the Guardian Data Store. Boundaries for Northern Irelend constituencies are not yet available as open data.
Important: the map shows only properly geotagged tweets, made by users who have enabled this feature. This represents only a small proportion of all tweets sent.
