The Anywheres vs. the Somewheres

Published



We have British intellectual—founder of think tanks, editor—David Goodhart, to thank for the distinction between “Anywheres” and “Somewheres,” the replacement for the more traditional left-right or class-based distinctions which were, until recently, used to describe democratic politics.
