In Conservative circles what is Teal, and what is Blue?
It's an interesting debate going on around conservative circles. The Blue incumbents want to paint the Teal as some sort of new movement, I'm not even sure what Teal means, but we need to kept in mind what does Blue mean anymore, is Blue the same or has it changed?
I think the Teal conservative movement could easily claim the classic Liberal Blue is no longer blue, just because colour hasn't changed doesn't mean the ideology hasn't been hijacked by infusion of right leaning fundamentalists. The devil seems to hide in the Scomo, Perrottet and Deves shade of Blue. In fact if that assertion is true you could even claim that Blue is even more insidious than Teal, using populist issues to forward a far more radical agenda!
As far as I can tell, Teal is the one that is more traditional, Liberal with a hint of Nationals, farmers farm, food comes from down the road or interstate, but not imported from China, Brazil or some other overseas destination. In this regard Teal has a slightly greener bent than Blue, did I get it, am I correct?
FWIW, the very same debate applies to Red, maybe it's in need of some Maroon before we all march under a Red flag!
