    It states that 12% of voters accounted for 50% of all social-media and Twitter users – and are six times as active on social media as are other sections of the population.

I mean, that's just the Pareto principle. Statistically you'd expect 10%, not 12%, which kinda indicates that there is more engagement with social media than you'd expect.

    In February, 70% of voters agreed that “it’s everyone for themselves”, with 30% agreeing that “we look after each other”. By September, the proportion who opted for “we look after each other” had increased to 54%.

Well that's fucking heartbreaking.
