Actually, this is more like closing the door to the barn after a pack of stray dogs killed five of your horses.

Twitter is a private company. They can do that. The 1st amendment is about government censorship.

I personally think that all politicians should not be allowed to write on social media from all parties.

It's a bit of an empty gesture just banning his personal account , they should of banned all his accounts.

The reason why I think that none of them should use facebook or twitter etc is that one can gain an unfair advantage if one has the time to spend on the sites, where the politicians who spend more time working on our behalf do not have much time for these social media sites. (So if we have a culture like we have now, that needs politicians to air their views on these sites and we require their presence, how are they supposed to get any work done?).
