Beige would be appropriate. Surely Claret? Asparagus Green, maybe. |

What colour will people like andrewteale , yorkshireluke , ElectionMapsUK and Sibboleth use if they ever need to colour somewhere in in SDP colours in a map? I also wonder what proportion of people who vote for them realise that they're essentially a UKIP splinter group. There are a handful of maps on LEAP including an SDP councillor. They got the same buff colour as the continuing Liberals.
(Incidentally that map needs redrawing at some point; when I originally drew it I didn't have the benefit of the original boundaries order.) Ah that was the Continuity Liberal / SDP Alliance? |

When I did maps of the 1983 and 1987 general elections I used the same yellow for the SDP as I did for the Liberals - there was no distinction as far as I was concerned (I also used the same shade of green for SNP, Plaid Cymru and SDLP). I did agonise a little how to deal with the situation had the continuity SDP managed to hold on in Greenwich and/or Woolwich but the question didn't arise. I regard the current incarnation of the SDP as entirely separate and would agree that some form of purple or mauve but would be most appropriate

With so many UKIP splinters there may not be enough shades of purple if they all start winning seats...
For what it's worth Wikipedia is using a reddish pink for the SDP (similar to the colour on the rosette, and probably from some version of their logo), a dark purple (darker than the UKIP one) for For Britain and black for both Democrats & Veterans and Abolish the Welsh Assembly. For Renew they have a sky blue sort of colour.

Beige would be appropriate. That would be more suitable for (whatever emerges from) TIG, shurely? |

In 2017 only two parties, Lab and Con saved their deposits. In 2015 they were also joined by UKIP. The Lib Dems last saved their deposit in 2010, Plaid have never saved their deposit (here or in Newport East) at a Westminister level. Anyone want to guess how many of the 11 will save their deposit next month? What is the record number of lost deposits in a parliamentary election? 23 (out of 26 candidates) in the 2008 Haltemprice and Howden by-election |

Time for the Liberal Party to put up a candidate, Antiochian? They both support Brexit though, so surely a merger can't be too far away?   Incorporate the following words into a well known phrase or saying: comb bald fighting over men a |

In my historical maps of general elections going back to 1918, I used pink for various centre-left MPs like Independent Labour, Democratic Labour and so on, and dark brownish-red for left-wing MPs like Communist or Common Wealth. Continuing that method would mean pink for the SDP.

Why are you using LDM and PLC? So each party has three letters? |

To get that close would be good for CON.

Here's a little map I made of the council wards that make up the constituency, and yes I'm aware there's not too much correlation between GEs and LEs but councils are sorta my thing so here you go:  |

I was somewhat surprised to read earlier that Caerleon, north-east of Newport, is in this constituency, but your map explains it. Quite surprised to see that Labour have a share of the councillors there. With the current state of the two major parties, I can see this being a close result, but by the time the election takes place, we will be in another world and who knows what might happen |

The Conservative candidate has something to say. You can understand that he might think that, but I think it's the sort of thing that would have been better untweeted. As for the SDP, are they in a competition with Renew for most Twitter noise about this by-election per vote received? |
