I know from various sources that Christian Democrats in Germany were associated with black, and that Christian Democrats in Italy were associated with white. I could see the link to the Dutch influence, but I am also aware Orange has been seen as Protestant for that exact reason. The Reuchamps citation on Political colour - Wikipedia, notes the colour link in Belgium, but doesn't say much else. DishevelledD (talk) 02:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, German CDU had Orange for a couple of years. May there be a connection to "Orange Revolutions"? By now, it seems, the CDU has changed its color to turquoise - as their Austrian counterpart OeVP. But in diagrams both are, mostly at least, black.
The Bavarian CSU is sometimes exposed as blue, so that it can be distinguished from the black CDU.
Since AfD (blue, as its Austrian counterpart FPOe - and in earlier times also the German F.D.P.) has been established, this may be more difficult....
To make it more complicated, the formerly black (what else, as a Catholic party) Centre Party has been using Blue, since Black had been taken over by CDU/CSU.... MarcoLitz (talk) 15:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The source for the claim that Christian democracy "has historically been considered centre-left on economics" is a 2009 encyclopedia about business. It is not a work about Christian democracy and it is just a passing mention. The encyclopedia itself gives no citation for the claim that Christian democracy is left of centre on the economy, either. This might have been true in the specific case that it covers (Belgium), but it should not be extrapolated to Christian democracy as a whole. I suggest that it is removed or replaced with alternative sources, because the rest of the article suggests a range of attitudes towards the economy, from social corporatism to ordoliberalism.
