Share of public Facebook comments on Guernsey politics that were negative or positive, 2022 to 2026 (%)
The share of public Facebook comments about Guernsey politics that an AI model labelled negative and positive, as a 3-month average, from Jan 2022 to Oct 2026. Outside the weeks around the June 2025 election, negative stays between 60% and 86%. Around the election it fell to 45% and positive rose to 33%.
Read this with the chart: Comments on posts by States of Guernsey, Guernsey Press and Island FM, the three pages with full coverage. A sample of the most-commented political posts each month (the first 15 comments, no replies), so heated threads are over-represented. Tone was labelled by AI and spot-checked on 24 comments (22 right); it was not audited. Public pages only: private groups are not covered. Timing between an event and a change in tone does not show that one caused the other. The page marks eleven political events on this line; the embed does not.
