[edit] Colors

I haven't been particularly interested in getting involved in the various template and infobox wars that go on around here, but this template's apparent requirement of a "colors" line for American political parties is no good, as neither the Democrats nor the Republican have official colors, or even consistently unofficial ones (the Red/Blue States thing is entirely a media creation which neither party has significant adopted in its campaigning). It either needs to be made option or taken out entirely. RadicalSubversiv E 30 June 2005 03:49 (UTC)

  • If you want red, type in "Red" instead. If you want blue, type in "Blue". That's how I just made it, except I haven't done other colors yet. I don't think you should have to type in the party name to get the color, since red is more commonly associated with left-wing socialist parties. thus, making it so you have to type "republican" to get red is stupid. --Revolución (talk) 23:15, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
    • FWIW, the color system now in use on this template has been updated to match the system in use in this templates British, Irish etc. equivalents. The Tom 01:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Position

This really needs to be clarified some. It's clear that Left-wing works for Communist parties... but, what about other parties? What are the options, as well, Left, center-left, center-right, right? Or is centrism the ideology and position of Centrist Party (United States). Please explain. gren グレン 09:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
