Mother nation
|
|
The term Mother Nation represents a core value of the UK's Progressive Conservatives, promoting the ideal of minimal state interference in the lives of citizens whilst recognising that a framework of support is welcome and necessary. Mother Nation is used as a contrast to the Nanny State, a term used to define what is perceived to be excessive Government intervention. The Mother Nation value of the Progressive Conservatives shares ideological similarities with the core Conservative value of "small government" but additionally encompasses the framework of support and a citizen's wider place within their community and country. The term Mother Nation derives from the concept of a caring mother allowing her adult children to find their own way in the world whilst reassuringly being there for them, should they need support.
