Maybe if you go back as far as the Civil War, but at any point after that… yeah, no.

The Republicans were the previous administration caught up in the Tunnelgate scandal so they are everyone's scapegoat right now. The Republicans are also the sworn enemies of Labor in New Jersey at least, so partisan tensions are too high for a grand coalition to be formed. The nationalists on the other hand are somewhat manageable to the Labor leadership because their views on the economy are closer, so it's sort of like the reverse of the situation with Bernie and Trump OTL. Also it's important to keep in mind that the Labor party in this timeline is not as liberal as the modern day Democrats, they are more conservative and have yet to support social issues like gay marriage. Socially they are probably more in line with where the Democrats were back in the 90s and early 00s at best.
The Democratic Party was always the party opposed to big business, while the Republicans were always the party in support of it. It's just that once upon a time, big government (in terms of economic policy) used to help big business far more than it does today. Unless you somehow keep the government in support of big business, which is difficult, I don't see how the Democrats can support small government and the Republicans big government.
"What have you done to my party!?"
(I'm guessing they went to Labor, then.)

Jill Stein - (1.00%)

I do enjoy playing the Campaign Trail game, but what really annoys me is that it's virtually impossible to win with Trump on any level above Easy; whereas with Clinton players get spoon-fed all these questions that guarantee a victory even on Impossible. The scenario is outdated, but that seems a little ridiculous to me...

Neither Grange nor TAC is strong enough to win seats in many areas, so they run fusion candidates. The MP in question is Johnny Ray Turner, MP for Cumberland South.
No problem. Grange is effectively an economically center-left and socially right wing party with a base in the Midwest and Plains. It is led by Jim Bradford of South Dakota.
