There has been a lot of talk about how big an influence social media will play in the UK election later this year.

Are your political candidates even on social media? And if so, how are they using it? Are they answering your questions?

With our unique resource, search, follow and engage with the General Election candidates in your area. This allows you to find the election candidates on Twitter in your constituency so you can follow them and start asking them questions right away.

As more candidates join twitter in the run up to the election we will refresh the data [source] which means we’ll get to see how the individuals and parties may react in the meantime.

The Big List Of UK General Election Candidates On Twitter

Here is a list of the candidates for the 2015 UK general election.

First off, you should register to vote if you haven’t already. Once you have, comes back here to find your candidates on Twitter.

Look for your constituency name in the search box below to see who has announced that they will be running in the 2015 general election. We’ve added their Twitter profiles, so you can get in touch with them easily.

If you don’t already know what constituency you are in, you can use this tool to work it out from your post code.

Why not follow your candidates now and ask them the questions which matter to you, before voting day rolls around on Thursday 7 May 2015.

We’ve also built a Twitter list of all the election candidates on Twitter, subscribe here on Twitter.

If you’re an MP and new to Twitter or have a profile not linked to your name in anyway and want to be included in our list let us know on Twitter @wetransmute.

Data Disclaimer & Source

We used the https://yournextmp.com/ data set, and then combined that with data mined out of Twitter.

Why did we choose to analyse Twitter and not Facebook?

Twitter is the most open and searchable (and media friendly) social network.

Twitter has a lot more political sway as Newspapers and TV quote tweets directly (rarely, do they quote directly from Facebook).
