Both mass meetings were live on Facebook today. Look at the difference in the numbers of views and comments. The Nationalist Party mass meeting was viewed 57,400 times; the Labour Party mass meeting 16,200 times.

The Nationalist Party meeting attracted 3,600 comments; Labour’s attracted 628 comments.

Of course, you have to factor in that the Labour Party broadcast its meeting live on television, and the Nationalist Party did not, broadcasting it after the event instead.
