Measured distance across six axes
The same broad family. They agree within three points on CU, ID. No axis separates them by eight points or more.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | +04 | +10 | 6 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| CU · Social and cultural order | +08 | +06 | 2 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| AU · Organisation of power | +08 | +04 | 4 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| SC · Scale of decision | +07 | 00 | 7 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |

Each axis runs from −10 to +10; the distance is the straight-line separation across all six at once, out of a maximum of 49.0. How the scoring works →
The evidence behind the widest gaps
A distance figure is worth nothing unless the scores behind it can be checked. These are the artefacts supporting the axes that separate these two most.
Justice and Development Party · SC +07
Coded +7: elected metropolitan authorities constrained and trustees appointed over opposition-held councils.
- Documented act or statuteState-appointed trustees replaced elected mayors in dozens of south-eastern municipalities from 2016.
Milei · SC 00
Coded at zero: federal transfers cut sharply, which decentralises fiscally and centralises power.
- Documented act or statuteDiscretionary transfers to provinces were reduced or halted in 2024.
What this comparison does not establish
Proximity means similarity of stated position. It carries no claim about competence, circumstance, scale of operation, or what either organisation actually did to the people under it. Two organisations can sit close together and produce entirely different histories, because those things are not on any axis and could not be.
AKP
2001– · Turkey
Conservative religious identity, national sovereignty, and a strong presidency claiming direct popular mandate.
La Libertad Avanza
2021– · Argentina
Radical reduction of the state, dollarisation, and a declared war on the political caste.
Distance is not the whole answer. Two organisations can sit the same distance apart for entirely different reasons, and the reason is the content of any claim about them. Open the comparison in the atlas to weight the axes yourself.
