Quotes from David Cameron about his 'Big Society'

"What this is all about is giving people more power and control to improve their lives and communities."

"The Big Society is about changing the way our country is run. That's why the Big Society is here to stay."
You can call it liberalism. You can call it empowerment. You can call it freedom. You can call it responsibility. I call it the Big Society”

David Cameron describing the "Big Society spirit" of a group of nurses:

"It's the spirit that I saw in a group of NHS maternity nurses in my own constituency, increasingly frustrated by the way they were managed and handled, who wanted to set up a co-op to use their own expertise, their ideas, their contacts to provide a better service for the mums in their area."

But here he intensifies that effort:

"Workers in our public sector have been bossed around to breaking point...We're giving nurses, doctors, teachers and police officers much more power over the work they do - scrapping the rules that held them back and giving them the chance to come together, form co-ops and take over the running of public services."

“We need a social recovery to mend the broken society – to me, that’s what the Big Society is all about,”
