Definition von nanny state im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

A state whose government institutions are authoritative and over-paternalistic, interfering with and controlling people's lives

{i} (Informal) government seen as having extreme control over the welfare and lives of its citizens and considers it in the best interests of the people, patronizing and authoritative government that interferes and controls the lives of its citizens

disapproval If you refer to the government as the nanny state, you disapprove of it because you think it tries to protect its citizens too much and makes them rely on the state too much. The tussle to free the individual from the nanny state is still far from won. A government perceived as having excessive interest in or control over the welfare of its citizens, especially in the enforcement of extensive public health and safety regulations
