106 3 In Figure 5 we analyse whether discrimination explains voting for DENK, by adding the belonging scale and three discrimination items to the model with religion and ethnic background (Model 4 of Figure 3). Feeling accepted as belonging in the Netherlands negatively predicts voting for DENK by 0.75 points, meaning that the less you feel accepted, the higher you indicate your likelihood of voting for DENK. Ancestral and racial discrimination do not have significant independent effects on voting for DENK. Experiences with religious discrimination predict propensity to vote DENK by 1.18 points, which is in line with the party’s position on discrimination against Muslims. Adding these discrimination items to the model slightly reduced the effect of being Muslim, by about half a point or 15%. Thus, similar to issue positions, religious discrimination only slightly explains why Muslim voters tend to vote for DENK. Meanwhile, the reduction in the effects of being of Turkish or Moroccan descent resulting from adding the discrimination items was negligible, suggesting that Turkish- and Moroccan-Dutch DENK voting is not substantially mediated by experiences with discrimination.
