Abstract
This is a quantitative research on political trust in the Netherlands. Data comes from CBS and Kiesraad. This research focusses on the relation between geographical proximity towards the political capital and political trust. With this research a new angle to the already existing body of literature on political trust will be added. Results can be used by governments to improve their overall trustworthiness. To generate results, thematic GIS maps are composed and used. The variables; political trust, distance and yearly income have been used to generate statistical results. Sub-questions about populism and urbanity are included to generate a broad overall outlook on the topic. Results show that there is no significant relation between distance from the political capital and populistic voting behaviour. Neither is that the case with political trust and distance from The Hague. Significance was found when urban regions were compared to rural areas in political trust.
