Overall, we observe a positive correlation between retweeting and co-voting, which is significantly different from zero. The strongest positive correlations are in the areas Area of freedom, security and justice, External relations of the Union, and Internal markets. Weaker, but still positive, correlations are observed in the areas Economic, social and territorial cohesion, European citizenship, and State and evolution of the Union. The only exception, with a significantly negative coefficient, is the area Economic and monetary system. This implies that in the area Economic and monetary system we observe a significant deviation from the usual co-voting patterns.
