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.
Milei · EC +10
The most market-oriented sitting government in the dataset.
- Documented act or statuteThe December 2023 emergency decree repealed or amended over three hundred regulations at once.
- Documented act or statuteMinistries were reduced from eighteen to nine and public employment cut sharply.
MAGA / Trumpism · EC +04
Tax reduction and deregulation pulled right, tariffs and defence of existing entitlements pulled left. The net is mildly market-oriented.
- Programme textRepeated explicit commitments not to reduce Social Security or Medicare.
- Documented act or statuteAcross-the-board tariff programmes are inconsistent with the market pole of this axis.
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.
La Libertad Avanza
2021– · Argentina
Radical reduction of the state, dollarisation, and a declared war on the political caste.
MAGA / Trumpism
2015– · United States
National restoration through a leader who claims to embody the real people against a corrupt establishment; borders, tariffs and sovereignty.
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.
