About this table

DescriptionDanish respondents (n = 4,099 with an outcome of 4,423) each read about one fictitious party whose ideological position (centre, centre-left, centre-right, left-wing, right-wing) and democratic stance (pro- or anti-democratic) were randomized, plus a control with neither; they rated how much the party should be granted the same rights, have its proposals discussed and its decisions accepted, and gave perception ratings.
