30. Conclusions
• Sentiment can be measured but relation to the election
outcome is hazy
– VVD had in general a negative sentiment but did win the
election
• Total number of messages per party/chairman has a
relation to election outcome (2010/2012)
– But tuning the statistical message is still a challenge
• Social monitoring delivers valuable information for a
political party
– Buzz and sentiment can steer attitude and content in debates

A Perfect Storm
• Recent film “Project X”
– Popular movie among young people
• Mass media that focus attention
– Government preparation makes the issue
“serious”
• Ability to organise with social media
– Easier to assemble and coordinate groups
– “Cooperation without coordination”
• Hooligans
– Hooligans finding new channels because
socker is protected
51. Project X Haren
Verantwoording
• Invitational pages for party are not used
– Because “liking” is a low participation action
• Some facebook and twitter pages are closed
– But closed accounts are not very viral
• “Professional hooligans do not communicate over open channels
– But hooligans need a crowd and you nee open channels to create a crowd
