New Englanders are more liberal than most of the rest of the US. In 2017, Gallup did a poll asking people from each state about their political leanings. If you rank the states by the percentage of respondents who described themselves as liberal, five out of the six New England states are in the top ten and the remaining one is in the top twenty. If you average the liberal percentages for the six states, New England as a whole is equally liberal to Oregon and New York State and more liberal than Washington State and California.
That being said, I don’t think we New Englanders would join Canada even if they asked us to (which I doubt they would). Despite our general admiration for certain aspects of Canadian society, we’re big on self-determination and probably would not want to be part of the British royal realms. I’m sure an independent New England would love to be allies with Canada, though.
I meant moderates in that their political scene is moderate, close to Canada's, and to a lesser degree Europe. A New England Republican isn't like a Republican from elsewhere, no?
Yes, being allies with Canada seems natural.
Yeah, our Republicans tend to be less socially authoritarian and less fiscally conservative than many Republicans in other areas.
