   Left: Canada election chances.
   Right: Australian election chances.

   I’d like to think the US administration for spreading liberal democracy around the world.

     @h0gh @GossiTheDog our colors aren't reversed, they're just tradition since the 1992/1996 elections. Before that the colors were not consistent in any news reporting about politics. You can find yellow used in some electoral maps, or even red for Dems and Blue for Republicans not just in the news reporting but actually on the party's merchandise and signage.
     
     So we get to blame mainstream media for choosing the colors we have.
