The history of colors in British politics

Just like commercial branding, a bold color and striking logo make recognizing a political party much easier. We take a look at the origins of the colors and symbols used by the UK's main political parties.

[@rjlchristie]

The British history is of colours, not colors.

[@blu3_enjoy]

that's right

Well in America we call it colors

TThe British English spelling is Colours and as the video relates to British political parties it is the correct "regional" spelling.

What was that comment about the Brexit party at the end about? I didn't get it.

[@lolavandervelde5382]

he said that the Brexit hasn't overlooked the fact that all the colours of the different party end up in black and white on the ballot paper...

[@d.7416]

In Germany the same: Red= socialists and leftwing (social democratic party) black= christian conservatives Green = Environment party Blue = right wing Yellow = liberal party

I like the slogan “people over privilege” at one point in the clip.

[@lauralishes1]

That must've been Jeremy Corbyn. He gets such unfair press from the Mudoch media, and Tory DailyMail. Jeremy genuinely cares about people. He'd right the wrongs of the last decade. The Tories have made peoples lives so much harder. Jeremy wants to give people 35 hours of free childcare a week. I know how much that alone would help. Free broadband ect. Increase wages. I don't know why Boris Johnson would get any votes from anyone that isn't a rich wealthy elite. He went to Eton, he was in the bullingdon club.The Bullingdon Club is an infamous exclusive and covert all-male dining club for Oxford University students. Boris and his posh mates would spend nights going around London burning £50 notes in front of homeless people. The woman who was the club recruiter said: “Boris was one of the big beasts of the club. He was up for anything. They treated certain types of people with absolute disdain, and referred to them as ‘plebs’ or ‘grockles’, and the police were always called ‘plod’. Their attitude was that women were there for their entertainment.” She said there was a “culture of excess” in the 1980s in which the activities of the Bullingdon Club felt “normalised”. “They had an air of entitlement and superiority.” They hate anyone that's not them. In the columns he used to write for he'd call the children of single mothers ill raised, ignorant and illegitimate and working class men are all drunk, feckless, aimless, criminal and hopeless. This is the man that will likely win the General election because he's used Brexit to his advantage.

The Liberal Democrat colour isn't "orange", it is "Lib Dem Yellow". How it is a mix between Liberal Party gold and SDP blue remains to be seen. And the Red in the DUP isn't particularly surprising, given the Red Hand of Ulster.

[@petergriffin3194]

It's orange.
