Abstract

The recent rise to prominence of populism in the Western world has caught the eye (Rodrïquez-Pose, 2018). In 2016 there was a surprising Brexit choice in the UK and later that year Donald Trump was elected as president of the USA. The last national elections in the Netherlands were held in 2017. The striking thing about these national elections was that compared to the previous national elections in 2012, there was an increase in the number of votes for the populist parties in all depopulating rural regions (Rijksoverheid, 2018). The main question of the research is formulated as follows: to what extent is there a relation between subjective livability and populist voting behavior in a depopulating rural region?
