Which League has the most parity?

Having a discussion with my physical therapist today about this and was wondering what this board's thoughts are? Out of these 5: La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, EPL and Ligue 1.
I admitadley don't watch enough Ligue 1 or Serie A to really rate them.
The others I would rate:
EPL
Bundesliga
La Liga
What are your thoughts and how would you rank them?

Parity? Ligue 1 and Serie A?
Does not exist, though at least some Italian clubs could change that. France is a lost cause.

Parity is largely non existent in most European leagues. It does not help when a club wraps up a league championship with a couple months left in the season. In Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, all but 1-3 clubs in those leagues have no chance of competing for a championship. La Liga and the Premier League have a little more parity.

Yeah, exactly. For some more extreme examples:
Dinamo Zagreb has won Croatia 11 years in a row
Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova has won 14 titles in 16 years

I do understand that in general. Was just wondering which of these leagues had the most parity in some of your eyes.

I'd put La Liga as being a little more even than the Bundesliga in the sense that Bayern is recently and historically the clear cut #1 with BvB close, but still more times than not decidedly behind them. At least in La Liga you have RM and Barca that are kind of 1a/1b, and Atletico is pushing really hard to make that a /1C, then Sevilla has a really good club as well.
The premiere league is the undisputed number 1 in this when it comes to the big European leagues. 1-8, while usually predictable, are capable of beating each other up. You don't see Real, Barca, Bayern losing often to mid table sides. On that note, I might even put Serie A over the Bundesliga and even with La Liga. Ligue 1 is a 1 horse race

I would say EPL easily. All of those other leagues have 1-2 (but usually one) teams that win it every year. Bayern, Juve, PSG, Barca/Real. Will there be a Leicester-like team in any of those leagues? Probably not.

Technically, it's Romania's Liga 1. They've had six different champions over the last ten years and Steaua Bucure?ti is the only club to win the league more than twice over that span. There's also been 13 different Romanian clubs that have finished in the top 3 over the last ten years which is a whopping total for a European football league. For comparison's sake, there have been seven football clubs (Leicester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea) that have finished in the top 3 of the English Premier League in the last ten years.
