title: The relationship between populist voting behaviour and residence in proximity to refugee centres in the Netherlands
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Recent studies have shown how the location of a refugee centre might have an impact on the voting
behaviour of nearby neighbourhoods. This study explains how contact theory and the halo effect
explain why it is not the people living closest to the refugee centre voting for populist
anti-immigrational parties but rather citizens living too far from the refugee centres to experience the
effects of immigration and integration. Using a multiple linear regression it is found that all the
variables used in the research have a significant impact on voters to vote for an anti-political
establishment party. Distance is posetively correlated with the percentage of votes populist parties
receive in Dutch neigbourhoods.
