Assembling France by Political Orientation

This video shows every French town, ranked from the most left-wing, to the most right wing.

50% of the towns are in red color, and 50% are in the blue.

Data: French presidential elections, 2017, first round

Methodology:
1. I classified every candidate in 3 categories:
- Left: Poutou, Arthaud, Cheminade, Mélenchon, Hamon (weight: -1)
- Centre: Macron (weight : 0)
- Right: Lasalle, Fillon, Asselineau, Dupont-Aignan, Le Pen (weight: -1)
2. I calculated a weighted average of the political score in every town
3. I ranked every town from most left wing to most right wing
4. The first half of the town is in red (the most left wing towns), and the second half in in blue (the most right wing towns)

For Germany, it's just East vs West lol

[micahistory]

funny how all teh left wing areas are on the left of the map and the right wing areas are on the right of the maps

[ME-eusf]

When I was a boy, in my little village in the north, 75% of people were Jean-Marie Le Pen supporters. Ha ha

Occitania, Brittany & Paris vs the rest of France.

[theunknownpersonism]

So basically the Angevin Empire is mostly left wing while Burgundy and Lorraine is mostly right wing.

Dude! The "Rise of Empires: Ice and Fire" devs have been stealing your "Rulers of Europe" video to advertise their game on YouTube!

[stojankovacic]

So basically the richest and the poorest areas are left wing and stuff in between is right wing. Consistent with the rest of the world! Really puts a perspective onto things...

Bon courage pour la suite
Edit: stop avec vos commentaires de Jean-Michel histoire

Now immigration Map... You will understand

If Petain saw this map he'd prefer to die again

There are 3 types of territories in France.
Areas without immigrants or with few immigrants like Brittany.
These areas vote on the left.
Then there are the territories with many immigrants but which remain a minority compared to the European populations. This is the case of the Southeast and the North.
These areas vote right / far right.
Finally there are the areas submerged by immigrants like Paris and the big cities.
They vote on the far left and liberal centrist.

Great work my friend. Btw it could be amazing if the next time you could base your analysis not on 2017 elections, but 2018 europen elections, to see the big evolution of the right wing (especially in the DOM TOM, and rural areas). Par ailleurs j'ai adoré ta vidéo sur le nombre de batailles remportées, elle a fait fermer beaucoup de bouches haha

PS : this video is based only on the biggest cities, a vast majority of small villages vote for right-wing I suppose ?

Interesting is that between this video and the "assembling France by average income" video, there seems to be a direct correlation between wealth and conservatism -- although it is loose to the effect of not being nearly a causation.

[bqueshua]

It fits perfectly where is racial diversity.
Everywhere preserved (on the west), the population is predominantly of French ancestry and vote on the left-side for the sake of feeling like they are nice people.
Everywhere on the east, descendant of migrants and migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa make up a much higher part of the population, plus they are growing much faster. Consequently in those areas, people are voting more and more on the right as they deal with the consequences in terms of criminality and the dilution of the French identity.
