• Who carries the party on Facebook in Sweden?

  

  Jimmie Åkesson’s share of the Sweden Democrats’ Facebook engagement fell from 41% in 2015 to 13% by 2020, while Annie Lööf’s share of the Centre Party’s rose. A new paper uses my doctoral CrowdTangle data to compare leaders, party pages and votes.
