Editor’s note: “The Big Society” was a flagship policy of the UK Conservative Party in their manifesto for the 2010 general election, aiming “to create a climate that empowers local people and communities, building a big society that will take power away from politicians and give it to people . . . encouraging people to take an active role in their communities.” After the election, Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron stated that he wanted his vision of such a ‘Big Society’ to be one of the great legacies of his Government.
