  The whole point of the Big Society is that society can get things done without Government. You are right, Darren, that government is the result of society; it is society which created government in the first place, and society which chooses its leaders. It therefore follows that government exists only by consent of society, and that its size and scope can be altered by society. If government is reduced in size and scope, with society able to operate aspects of the nation's daily life without government involvement, that is what I understand 'small government, big society' to mean.
  
  Power to the People, in other words.
