Someone needs to send this guy back to geometry class! A 360-degree difference means you've gone full circle and ended up exactly where you started. It's like saying "I took a completely different route home" but actually just drove around the block and parked in the same spot.
The mathematical irony here is delicious. In angular measurement, 360° represents a complete rotation that brings you back to the original position. So technically, he's saying the two are identical! The Prime Minister probably meant "180 degrees different" (completely opposite), but instead accidentally created the perfect mathematical self-own.
