A UK General Election and the Politics of Tie Colours

Now that the UK general election race is truly on I am in a quandary as to what tie I should be wearing throughout the proceedings, not wishing to nail my colours to the mast. Which means Red, Blue, and Yellow are temporarily out. 

I could of course wear a tie which combines all three colours but at present I don't have one, so I shall choose a pale lilac tie instead or possibly pale green. "Ah, what about the Green Party?" I hear you say, well it's a good bet that nobody in the Green Party would deign to wear a tie and anyway it's very British to back the underdog.

What colour tie (if any) will you be wearing in the run up to the election?
