[Thread] Some of you asked if I'd do Twitter analysis on Remainer Tweets/Accounts. As a leader/party long committed to remain, I analysed one of @joswinson's tweets. (For those w new to these threads, I have previously analysed tweets from Farage, Johnson & LeaveOct31 hashtag
One of Jo's most popular recent tweets regarding Brexit was this one on the #StopBrexit hashtag. It had around 1.4k retweets. I managed to download about 1.3k, so pretty good.
This is less data than I'm used to from Farage and Johnson - for numerous reasons. Johnson is PM and Farage is arguably more established, and more shouty. Also, as I will discuss, Swinson's tweet is less trolly - probably.
A frequency count of most popular terms in the biographies of those who retweeted Jo's tweet shows that we have absolutely no MAGA trolls (surprise surprise). Unlike in both Johnson's and Farage's retweets, 'America' only registers once in Jo's retweeters. Unsurprisingly 
'Brexit' is the most common word (mostly in the context of anti-Brexit), while #FBPE (Follow back pro -EU) is also common, as is European. Love makes an appearance too, and hate seems to be a little demoted. While mostly ppl retweeted Johnson and Farage would say 'Hate EU'
people retweeting Jo have "Hate Brexit" in their bios. So some hate an apparatus and entity, the others hate what seems to be happening to the UK right now. There is no obvious anamolies I can see in creation dates indicating obvious trolls or bots, except potentially in 2011.
However I am not convinced there is enough data to make it stand out particularly strongly. Might be more obvious when I look at the #stopBrexit hashtag. Anyway the main takeaway is that there is no obvious MAGA/US accounts active on retweeting this particularly tweet.
fin.
