    I was surprised by this, too, moving to New Zealand. Down here National (the center centre-right party) is a light blue color, while Labour is a red-orange. But then there’s ACT (further right than National), which uses a pink color, and NZ First (even further right than ACT), which uses a dark blue color.

    Incidentally, it’s an election year here, too; and from what I’ve gathered, NZ First (the furthest-right of the major parties in New Zealand) somehow manages to still be further left than American Republicans on most issues. National is further left than American Democrats.
