Conservatives winning online battle but all parties remain close in website stakes

The Conservative party managed to attract the greatest number of website visitors of the three main political parties last week, according to the latest available figures.

Data released by Experian Hitwise UK shows in the week to May 1, the Tories claimed just over 36 per cent of all visitors to the three main parties websites.

Labour took second place with 32.9 per cent of all visitors. The Liberal Democrat party was the only one to see a fall in its weekly share of visitors, down from around 39 per cent the previous week to just over 31 per cent on May 1.

Robin Goad, a research director at Hitwise UK, said: “Of course, visits to party websites do not equal votes, but they can still be an interesting indicator.”
