Small Government Is Best

.

Small Government Is Best Going for small means smashing bigness, not just making speeches about it as political parties always do. It means withdrawing government from intruding on people’s lives, not extending it with daily initiatives, taskforces and enforcement regimes. It means trusting communities to decide on their public services, as they may in other countries. It means governing as if citizens mattered more than a hyperactive state. That way lies not only efficiency but also, we are now told, human happiness. Simon Jenkins - 5 min - probably only of interest to Brits.
