Respondents taking part in this survey were asked where they would position themselves in the political spectrum. Eight percent of the participants with a low education said that they considered themselves to belong to the moderate left. Among the respondents with a high education, this was over 20 percent.
When you think about your own political stance, where would you position yourself?
The question was phrased by the source as follows: "Wanneer u denkt aan uw eigen politieke opvattingen, waar zou u zichzelf dan plaatsen, links of rechts?"
