The CEO-Monarch
«Run the state like a company, with a CEO.»
A movement born online that rejects democracy as inefficient and proposes running states like companies, led by a CEO with full powers.
In short

The clearest positions are on democracy: strongly towards “technocracy”; state: strongly towards “authority”; technology: strongly towards “acceleration”; justice: strongly towards “tough on crime”. On devolution it stays balanced. Among the other ideologies, the closest is authoritarian nationalism (89%).
