Bukelismo and UK Conservative Party
Measured distance across six axes
The same broad family. They agree within three points on EC, CU, SC, ID. No axis separates them by eight points or more.
Axis by axis
| Axis | Nuevas Ideas | Tories | Gap | Reading | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | +05 | +06 | 1 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| CU · Social and cultural order | +06 | +05 | 1 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| AU · Organisation of power | +08 | +02 | 6 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| SC · Scale of decision | +06 | +03 | 3 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| ID · Rule of membership | +03 | +03 | 0 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| CH · Method and tempo | +02 | −05 | 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.
Nuevas Ideas · CH +02
Coded +2: elected, and with the legislature entered by armed soldiers in 2020 during a funding dispute.
- Documented act or statuteSoldiers were deployed inside the legislative chamber in February 2020 to press a loan vote.
Tories · CH −05
Coded −5: incremental by disposition, with Brexit as a deliberate discontinuity achieved by referendum.
- Documented act or statuteEU withdrawal was pursued through referendum, legislation and treaty rather than outside them.
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.
Bukelismo
2019– · El Salvador
Mass incarceration of suspected gang members under a permanent state of exception, sold as the trade of civil liberties for physical safety.
UK Conservative Party
1834– · Britain
Fiscal restraint, national sovereignty, property ownership, controlled migration, gradualism.
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.
