The colors are also meaningless as well since there was no global definition of each color means respective to political leanings. So it's basically a meaningless picture. At least the OP graphic (while it has some pretty big problems) tells you which is left and which is right.
They’re Canadian political parties.
Yeah I got that from context but I wouldn't just dump a UK political chart on everyone and expect them to be able to understand it not least because the colors all opposite to what you would expect from a US centric point of view
Red is liberal blue is conservative
the graph is using the party's respective official colours
So
Like the vast majority of the population of the planet I'm not Canadian, and don't magically know what any of the colors means.
I'm only asking for a simple explanation, that is not particularly complicated or hard to comprehend.
Would you like to supply one since apparently you know about Canadian politics? A subject matter that I am confident no one else cares about
no, seek therapy
For not being Canadian?
About you seek therapy for your personality disorder of being an unhelpful twit?
