France · 2017–
Emmanuel Macron
Centrist. Pro-European, pro-market reforms, socially liberal, comfortable using the state.
Emmanuel Macron is on the world-leaders chart for France, 2017–. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Centrist. Pro-European, pro-market reforms, socially liberal, comfortable using the state.
The dot is economics +30 and authority -14, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits near the middle. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Neither left nor right. Europe, labor reform, and a green industrial policy. Done: Passed the labor and pension fights against street opposition. The parties he replaced did not stay replaced. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Angela Merkel (Germany, +18 / +4) and Tony Blair (United Kingdom, +14 / +4). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
