Political elites increasingly use Twitter and other social media platforms to spread their views. Yet, it is hard to come by comparative and up-to-date statistics that would tell us how active and influential politicians, as well as parties, are on these platforms. The present study attempts to provide a descriptive, comparative, and up-to-date overview of Twitter activity/influence across politicians, parties, and parliaments in different countries. It analyzes around 15 million tweets by around 4500 active politicians. Thereby, the study relies on data generated by a framework that collects the corresponding Twitter data on a daily basis. This framework allows for up-to-date statistics and comparisons across different levels and time periods and develops methods that help in comparing the activity and influence of different politicians. The here found variation in terms of activity and influence across
politicians, parties, and parliaments calls for more explanation on different levels of aggregation.
