This infographic (view full size) shows the amount of time spent by each political party on Twitter, based on their number of tweets. Assumptions are:

2. Majority of tweets are not computer generated (e.g. by a Facebook app).

The average time per politician is 4.27 hours. But a detailed look at the data revealed that within each party a minority of politicians write the majority of tweets. This will be shown in a future diagram.
