Goodhart divides politics into rooted somewheres and rootless anywheres

Evidence

One popular account of the effects of all three shifts is capsulated by British pundit David Goodhart’s notion of “somewheres” and “anywheres.” “Somewheres” are people rooted in a specific place or community, rural or suburban, generally have limited education and exposure to the world, and harbor conservative social views. “Anywheres” he depicts as relatively rootless, urban, and urbane; they tend to be more educated, progressive, and open to the future. … The different horizons and affects he aims to encode with this division of the world distinguish between those who cling to place and those who have embraced globalization—culturally, socially, economically, and politically. — Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, 312
