      Sorry—I thought they were all separate parties? Like Why are the Green Party the same color as the Conservative Party? Or are those different colors actually? Ignorant American over here just trying to understand a bit better.

          Aaah yes, thank you, so much clearer! I appreciate that the Green Party is actually green, ha. Also I am gonna be tripped up by the red blue dichotomy if I understand Labour vs. Tories correctly since it’s kind of the opposite here in the states. We need some different colors over here too.

            ha! Yes you’re absolutely correct the blue = conservative/Tories (your Republican party) and red being Labour (the equivalent of your Democratic party). To be honest I think the UK/Europe’s colours for the left and right and seem more logical and traditional but I would say that 😉

            The red and blue being inversed is mostly (only?) in the US as far as I know. Everywhere else blue is right and red is left.
