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.
