Talk:Political colour

On Blue representing Democrats in the US - "This is likely due to the Democratic Party starting out as a Conservative party, although it is less-so now, as it has evolved over time."
This is just conjecture that's not even accurate. From what I understand the assignment of red/blue was arbitrary and differed from network to network even during the 2000 election. --Fellnearshiva 00:36, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Accuracy dispute
I never really heard of any color being associated with the Libertarian Party. Media networks don't usually have a standard color for the Libertarian Party, occasionally gray or yellow is used.
For the Republicans and Democrats, what is the claim of no single official color? Since the 2000 election, media networks have held on to the Republican-red/Democratic-blue association, and both parties have accepted these colors to be used for now on. Doesn't that count as an official color?
Also, the American Communist Party is listed as Red. Is this official or assumed? Red was the color of the SOVIET Communist party. In the U.S., Red is pretty much an official color of the Republican Party. The American Communist Party is merely a third party now, somewhat like a "fourth party".
