title: Regional inequality and the populist vote
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Since the 2008 financial crisis the populations of the West are growing increasingly dissatisfied with their governments policies. New (illiberal) populist parties and leaders have emerged all over Europe, Great Britain and the USA. While these movements seem to have much in common they differ by nation. In the USA and Great Britain geography was often a decisive arbiter of voting behavior. In this thesis I will examine if the same holds true for the Netherlands.  By comparing socio-economic data with election results I will compare municipalities with each other and see if I can predict the amount of people vote for populist parties in that municipality.
While cities often have more young people who vote different from their older countrymen the results are nonetheless not strongly divided by geographic factors.
