Hungary · 2010–
Viktor Orbán
National conservative. Illiberal democracy in his own phrase: borders, family policy, and a tamed press and courts.
Viktor Orbán is on the world-leaders chart for Hungary, 2010–. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: National conservative. Illiberal democracy in his own phrase: borders, family policy, and a tamed press and courts.
The dot is economics +18 and authority +64, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. 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: A Christian, illiberal democracy that would stop migration and Brussels. Done: Rewrote courts, media, and election rules in that direction. EU funds kept flowing with fights attached. 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 Donald Trump (United States, +22 / +62) and Napoleon Bonaparte (France, +10 / +70). 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.
