Quote:

Incredibly, one disgruntled Tory has already started a petition to save the Stalinist-style "torch of liberty". Which always appeared more suited to the racist BNP in any case.

Here's a cross-section of current British political party logos. Note that the ex-Ukip rump in the London Assembly managed to rip-off the official GLA advertising style!

A quick scan around the world suggests that the natural world - leaves, trees, flowers - edges slightly ahead of the hammers, fists and flags redolent of communist parties past and present.

Funnily enough, for all the oak tree's green resonances, it's not an image which has found favour with Europe's official green parties, who look to the sun, the globe or er.. the dandelion..for inspiration.

Of course it was marketing maestro Peter Mandelson who nearly 20 years ago replaced Labour's own red flag with the more middle-class red rose - now rapidly fading from view, if the official Labour party website is anything to go by.

Why on earth would a torch of liberty be more suited to the Nazi party?

How is a torch of liberty suited to any pro-eu party?

Perhaps they are having to replace the torch of liberty so nobody can sure them under the trade descriptions act?

I think a blue rose or the torch underneath a hammer embossed with the EU flag would be more appropriate.
