Seed data in the corpus. 5,211 of 5,213 respondents (99.9%) are generated, not people, and they are counted in every figure on this site — the map, the nation atlas, the blocs and the phenotype shares alike. Figures here are therefore not yet a measurement of any population. Real answers are being collected alongside them and this notice shrinks as they arrive. How the seed was built →

What do Dutch people think about military alliances?

Force axis · 🇳🇱 Netherlands · measured continuously, published only above 100 responses.

No published Dutch reading yet. DataRadio holds 74 Dutch answers on this question and publishes a nation only at 100, so the honest answer today is that we do not know — 26 more answers are needed. The world reading is below, and it takes about a minute to make this page say something.

Answer the poll

Where Netherlands sits on force

What is measured about Netherlands on this axis. These are facts about the country, not what its people think about them — that is the part of this page waiting on a sample.

The questions that bear on military alliances

Asked as a forced choice between two written positions, in randomised order, with the sides flipped for half of respondents.

A · We should not go to war over someone else's quarrel.
B · We should be ready to go to war to defend a friend.
World, unweighted: 49% A · 24% neither · 27% B · n = 3958
🇳🇱 n=74
of 100

A national figure appears only once that nation clears 100 responses on the question. The world column is a raw count of every answer received and is not post-stratified — it is shown because withholding it would say less, not more.

Asked another way

The same question, as people put it.

  • Netherlands public opinion on military alliances
  • Military alliances poll netherlands
  • What do dutch people think about military alliances
