Polish Political Twitter Accounts

The Polish Political Twitter Account List is a resource gathering verified accounts of causative and opinion-forming actors from the Polish political scene (politicians, parties, NGOs, journalists). It currently contains 766 accounts.

Data sources

The initial version of the list combined the following available component resources:

The list was supplemented with accounts automatically retrieved from Twitter and then manually verified by experts:

  • based on the entries from the Polish Political Ontology all Twitter accounts compatible with the first name-surname pattern were collected

  • for every candidate account every friend and follower of the account was retrieved
  • the list was filtered using the methodology of the self-confirming structure, i.e. by tracking only accounts followed by verified accounts and being followers and friends of verified accounts of the largest Polish political parties
  • finally the remaining candidate accounts were manually verified and all inactive accounts (by people who did not publish any tweets retrievable by Twitter API) were removed.
