Show party emblems on constituency and person pages

Party emblems (and with it, colours) would make constituency and person pages feel more familiar.

Using party descriptions would be useful too - seeing "Conservative and Unionist Party" still seems strange.

I do agree. But unfortunately it’s a harder one to solve (and there’s a separate issue for that here I think? mysociety/yournextrepresentative#315)

Indeed, didn't intend to pollute this issue - so apologies - but feel it is related, especially thinking from a user's perspective. A standard Conservative party logo would probably help mitigate the party name/description issue. Also raised in mysociety/yournextrepresentative#823

Just looking at the elections/area page, I wonder if a nice, non-messy way of doing this is with a colour strip on each card...

Or on the other side...

(There are some party colours here, though they might have changed since then... )

We do something similar on the uk_results pages:

..or here, or here..

Oh, yes, probably the Wikipedia list is best.

Last time I looked, Wikipedia was wrong for every party I checked…

…and none of the lists agreed with each other…

But yes, this is a nice idea, no matter what colour the bike shed actually is :)

Definitely an opportunity for a Register of Party Colours here :D
