French speaking countries from most conservative to progressive

[mileslunn]

If you mean entire country, I would rank as follows:

1.  Switzerland
2.  Belgium
3.  France
4.  Canada

If you just mean French speaking parts then

1.  France
2.  Quebec
3.  French part of Switzerland
4.  Wallonia

As mentioned elsewhere German parts of Switzerland much more conservative than French speaking parts and even Italian speaking parts are too.  Likewise in Belgium, Flemish parts very much dominated by parties on right with left quite weak.  By contrast in Wallonia it is exact opposite.  Brussels however seems to lean left not just amongst French speakers, but even Dutch speakers but not quite to same extent.

France though economically is probably more left wing than Canada but culturally and socially definitely more conservative.  While France has elected more governments who ran on smaller government than Canada, almost none follow through and usually you get riots and mass general strikes.  Switzerland including even French speaking parts probably most economically conservative as Switzerland has much lower tax rates than other three although French speaking parts tend to be higher than rest of country.  Likewise on health care, Switzerland's is one of the most privatized of European countries although still universal.  Likewise not sure on linguistic divide, but Switzerland has fairly loose gun laws compared to most of Europe (although not crazy like US and still quite strict compared to US).
