Twitter Reaction to Election Promises

This is a new feature that attempts to track the Twitter reaction to election pomises by the parties during the campaign. I'm working on increasing the accuracy and number of tweets scanned, some of the announcements are similar so it's tricky separating them. Check back again!

Please tweet me if I've missed a policy promise on the list!
