To expect blue and red to mean the same thing politically here and in the US?

[avaTsar]

I am a simple soul. Red=Labour right? And Blue=Conservative.

But the equivalent parties in America use those colours the other way round? It's done to confuse just me, me, me isn't it ?? (megalomaniac emoticon)

I had enough trouble coming to terms with salt and vinegar and cheese and onion crisps swapping colours.

YANBU politics is confusing enough without completely throwing me by SWAPPING colours.

Oh god, my grasp on politics is always pretty sketchy

I'm sure MrO will be a great pres anyway. I'll stick to figuring out the crisps!

YANBU. It is confusing. I was watching Jeremy Vine do a graphics extravaganza on the election the other night & I had to keep reminding myself.

And don't get me started on the cheese & onion/ salt & vinegar question!

That's what I mean JJF - what political left?
Its so small in the US as to be unnoticeable.

So...no left in America, but a left right or a right right. Have I got that right?
