About the Project
What We Do
PoliMetrics turns public political data – mainly what politicians and parties post on social media – into clear and comparable insights.
The data is already public, but scattered. We put it together as a whole. We collect posts and profile information, classify them, group them by party, and measure their audiences. The result is plots and reports showing how political narratives form, which trends emerge, and how public debate shifts over time – so people can draw their own conclusions.
We publish these insights on our channels for anyone who wants to follow politics with numbers instead of gut feeling. This project grew out of curiosity and a love of uncovering what lies behind the data.
But we do not want to stop there. If there is something you would like to know, or an idea you think we could tackle, get in touch and let us build it together.
