Oh Yeah, the Parties’ Colour Schemes

One more thing: American readers who may be following the election

(possibly my in-laws) may experience the same colour dysphoria that we

Canadians have when looking at colour maps of state election results.

That’s because the “red” and “blue” parties are essentially reversed:

  • Blue is used to represent the Conservative Party
  • Red is used to represent the Liberal Party
  • Orange is used to represent the New Democratic Party
  • Green is used to represent the Green Party

    Also, you should mention that the best by date on minority governments is 18 to 24 months.
