La Libertad Avanza and Institutional Revolutionary Party
Measured distance across six axes
Different families with real common ground. They agree within three points on CU, ID. They diverge by eight points or more on EC.
Axis by axis
| Axis | Milei | PRI | Gap | Reading | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EC · Economic organisation | +10 | +01 | 9 | Diverges | Carries the disagreement. Any claim that these two are alike has to explain this. |
| CU · Social and cultural order | +06 | +04 | 2 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| AU · Organisation of power | +04 | +08 | 4 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| SC · Scale of decision | 00 | +07 | 7 | Differs | Real difference, but not the dividing line. |
| ID · Rule of membership | +03 | +03 | 0 | Agrees | Effectively the same position. Not what an argument between them is about. |
| CH · Method and tempo | +03 | −04 | 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.
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- Documented act or statuteThe December 2023 emergency decree repealed or amended over three hundred regulations at once.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.
PRI · EC +01
Coded +1: the same party redistributed land, nationalised oil and then signed NAFTA and privatised.
- Documented act or statuteOil was nationalised in 1938; the banks were nationalised in 1982 and reprivatised from 1991.
- Documented act or statuteNAFTA entered force in 1994 under a PRI president.
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.
Institutional Revolutionary Party
1929– · Mexico
A party built to institutionalise a revolution and end military coups, which then held the presidency for seventy-one consecutive years.
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.
