28. CAN WE RANK A POLITICIAN/PARTY
BASED ON PEOPLE’S OPINION
ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Uncover the Simplify360
Social Index (SSI) for ranking a politician/party
Reasons on why ranking is important?
1. Buzz alone cannot determine the
performance of a politician/party
2. Ranking helps in benchmarking a
politician/party with others
3. Few people generating more buzz
on a politician/party may not
indicate a politician/party has
performed well compared to others
on social media
