  Good luck to Charlie, I hope Mr Cameron's failure to sell the idea works in our favour, making this a case study in the ideas surrounding Big Society.
  
  After reading Peter's link, I still think we lack part of the structure to realise the better parts of the concept, and others are being cut! As Peter also pointed out the idea is quite hard to grasp. Coming From Peter(a smart bloke) I think this exposes the paradoxical nature trying to galvanise 'the people' with a concept that many won't understand or hasn't been properly explained. The cuts are now intrinsically linked with Big Society, either because Mr Cameron saw the concept as a way negating responsibility or because of not really being able to convey the idea. I still think two words have been hijacked to carry out an existing agenda. Even if the genesis of the idea wasn't about party politics, it has now been made so.
  
  If people find the concept hard as a result of living their adult lives under a Labour government: by the same reasoning I would suggest Mr Cameron is least qualified to talk about society as he has never required it. Subscribing to this empiricism, as he has never lost his job or needed treatment from the NHS, he is least qualified to make cuts too!
