What the Five Foundations theory tells us about the Conservative and Labour party Twitter feeds. [Blog post]

Smith, David S.; Baroni, Beatrice

Abstract

In this blog post, authors David Smith and Beatrice Baroni argue that differences between the messages communicated by the two main parties through Twitter during the election campaign were consistent with differences between left- and right-wing moral priorities observed elsewhere. The authors use the Five Foundations theory to explain their findings.
