That’s not actually true… I can remember when Social Credit was elected, and not too long ago Green was required to form a coalition after the Liberals started to fall apart… because of the Conservatives.
In general, BC has been a 3-4 party system, with one of three being in power.
It’s the influence of the US mindset of “Elect the premier!” that’s shifted us towards a two party system in the recent cycle… well, that and the total collapse of the BC Libs. All of that has of course been enhanced by FPTP, which encourages adversarial politics.

Currently Quebec and New Brunswick have the most political party diversity
