A Principled Stance
There was an old charmer named Vince,
Who said of his orangey tints:
"Here is something quite new:
They are all turning blue!
I wonder if they need a rinse."
His promises, so fine and true,
So wondrous and sparkly in hue,
Were gaining the label
Of fib and of fable;
And mutiny started to brew.
There was an old swindler named Cable
Whose pledges verged on the unstable.
"Though it causes me pain,"
Said he, "I'll abstain,
Or not, insofar as I'm able."

Well, fortunately for him he isn't literally orange-coloured, like the incoming Speaker of the US House of Representatives, John "It's pronounced 'Beɪ-nɚ'" Boehner. Because then ol' Vinnie would be sticking out like the proverbial, er, orange person in a crowd of blue people ...
... Okay, I'll leave the wordsmithing to you. Still, it was worth it for the chance to attempt inserting an r-coloured schwa into a comment.

I don't think we've had a literally orange politician since Kilroy was here. I'm not certain of his position on tuition fees, but it's probably reasonable to assume that it includes MIGRANTS GO HOME and BRUSSELS MEDDLERS GO BACK TO NUREMBERG.
