Washington State with B.C. parties

[King of Kensington]

Would be interesting to see what Washington State politics would look like with a party system similar to B.C., with the labor-based NDP, the "free enterprise" coalition of the Liberals and maybe smaller Green and populist conservative parties as well.

Yeah a "B.C. party system" may not work in Washington given that the weight of BC-style class politics (found on much of the island and interior) is smaller.

Would the NDP ever be able to take a majority of the legislative seats?

And if the Liberals governed forever and the NDP wasn't seen as much of a threat, you'd probably have a stronger rural populist presence.
