Political Facebookers – Typology

The Campaigner: Devalues his social currency and does little for his political hero by unashamedly posting consistent propoganda

The Viral Pawn/ The Unknowing Carrier: Posts funny political photo’s and videos which actually do influence people’s opinions

The Basher: Thinks that he/she will influence others by criticising politicians but ends up looking biased and incredible.

The “Agenda-less”: Claims not to be voting for a political party but praises it publicly, really!

The Tactical Debaser: Uses sophisticated language and while open about political allegiance pretends to be intellectually unbiased in order to sway voters.  Often abusing their position of influence in the community.

The Commentator: Genuinely tries to give a fair analysis but the bias always shines through

The Agruer: Dominates those 30 comment long arguments managing to insult some of their best friends
