That was an interesting result in the US election. Even more interesting will be seeing a lame duck president trying to rule when he does not have the numbers in both houses of parliament.
US politics are difficult to understand, made worse by colours.
US, conservative red, liberals blue.
Canada, conservative blue, liberals red.
Australian, conservative blue, liberals red.
UK, conservative blue, liberals red.
Just one more area where the US is out of step with the world.
Around the western world the parties pro big business and private profit for rich people use the colour blue and the pro worker, average person and a caring society use red. But not so in the US where the opposite is true.
Did the Republic Party never hear of the red communist menace, or the term 'reds' for communists? Reds under the beds?
I guess there is probably a long history behind the US colours, maybe back to the Civil War.
