4.3 Politicians
For computational reasons, the topic model tool provides a selection of 270 out of the 4105 politicians. This sample of politicians is drawn by a combination of three different approaches:
- Every minister and chancellor since the 14th electoral term (26.10.1998)
- Every opposition leader since 1949 based on this Wikipedia list.
- The 200 most followed politicians on twitter based in this Twitter list.
Additionally we dropped every politician with less than 30 speeches in the Open Discourse corpus.
The final list of politicians can be found below (sorted by last name):
