... Das mag unbequem sein für die Verantwortlichen in Wirtschaft und Politik, aber es verpflichtet sie auch, die somewheres nicht zu vergessen.

So sind es letztlich gerade die demokratischen Verhandlungen zwischen Wandel und Verwurzelung, die die Schweizer Gesellschaft stabilisieren, indem sie populistischen Vereinfachungen widersteht. Entscheidend für die Resilienz gegenüber Vereinnahmung sind der soziale Zusammenhalt und die Institutionen."

The terms "somewheres" and "anywheres" come from the book "The Road to Somewhere" by David Goodhart:
> He argues that the key faultline in Britain and elsewhere now separates those who come from Somewhere – rooted in a specific place or community, usually a small town or in the countryside, socially conservative, often less educated – and those who could come from Anywhere: footloose, often urban, socially liberal and university educated. He cites polling evidence to show that Somewheres make up roughly half the population, with Anywheres accounting for 20% to 25% and the rest classified as “Inbetweeners”.‌www.theguardian.com/books/2017…
