Election time, and for the first time in an age it seems like there's a choice of three colours, rather than just the two. And that's got to be a good thing...

UPDATE: We've just been reading some more thoughts on the election hues over at JB Towers, and we've been pondering about how much the colours of the Union Jack (or Union Flag, to give it its correct name) might have always helped and hindered the parties. After all, if we regularly see the UK as being made up of just red and blue (shown here in the Labour and Conservative Pantone colours, rather than its true colours), might we subconsciously see yellow as not really fitting in?

Perhaps Mr Clegg might like to look at proposing a revised flag...

(Guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if we've given each party the right proportion of the flag...)
