Piece of painted cardboard knocked up the BBC's prop department a few hours before an election broadcast. Usually managed by Peter Snow on Newsnight and used to represent the political swing between the Conservative Party in Blue and Labour Party in red. The device could never cope with the Liberal Democrat Party in Yellow, as this was not on the scale. How's that for unbiased political commentary
