Liberal Democrats overtake Labour on Facebook

The Liberal Democrats have overtaken The Labour Party on Facebook with 7,103 fans compared to Labour’s 7,055,  though both parties are some way behind The Conservatives Party which has 23,553 fans.

In the Twitter rankings, Lib Dems remain third with 9,307 followers behind Labour with 11,073 who are again some way behind the Tories with 21,324.

In iphone application terms, Lib Dems have yet to launch an election app, though they do have a euro manifesto version. The two other main parties launched apps earlier this month, though UKIP were ahead of both with their February launch.

The Tories have also launched a secure Blackberry app for canvassing candidates which allows them to check into a central database and tread a consistent party line.
