Axis by axis
| Axis | Likud | Tories | Gap | Reading | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | +06 | +06 | 0 | 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 | +05 | +02 | 3 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| SC · Scale of decision | +03 | +03 | 0 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| ID · Rule of membership | +07 | +03 | 4 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| CH · Method and tempo | −03 | −05 | 2 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
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.
Likud · ID +07
Coded +7: the 2018 Basic Law defines national self-determination as belonging to one people.
- Documented act or statuteThe Nation-State Basic Law of 2018 removed Arabic's status as an official language and named Jewish settlement a national value.
Tories · ID +03
Coded +5 on migration policy rather than ancestry.
- Documented act or statuteThe Rwanda removals policy was legislated in 2024 and found unlawful by the supreme court in 2023.
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.
Likud
1973– · Israel
Security-first nationalism, settlement of the West Bank, free-market economics, judicial restraint.
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.
