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 · CH +03
Coded +3: constitutional in form and disruptive in method.
- Programme textThe founding programme described the state as a criminal organisation and promised its demolition.
GOP · CH −03
Coded strongly incremental at the institutional level: the party operates through courts, legislatures and elections.
- Documented act or statuteIts most consequential recent victories were achieved through judicial appointment and state legislation.
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.
US Republican Party
1854– · United States
Limited federal government, lower taxes, strong defence, religious and family traditionalism, gun rights.
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.
