Peoples' Republic of California

Used by conservatives in California to describe the state itself, known for being liberal-leaning, or certain smaller cities in California known to be decidedly liberal such as Berkeley, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood. Derived from the official names of several Communist countries, including the Peoples' Republic of China. Boulder, Colorado is also often referred to as a Peoples' Republic, as is Madison, Wisconsin. In the United Kingdom, the Conservative MP Irvine Patnick coined the phrase 'Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire' to highlight the predominance of the left-wing of the Labour Party in the county.
