The country ideology was the British political philosophy that held country gentlemen to be the best fit for leadership. This was believed in part because country gentlemen had vast wealth and could not be easily corrupted by Walpolian politics (patronage). It was assumed that the country gentlemen would make the best decision for the community or nation, as his interests were inextricably tied to his decision as well. The country gentlemen, then, was above politics for favors. The universally recognized concept of republicanism, doing what is right for the whole instead of making decisions for selfish reasons, would be natural and proper for the country gentlemen.
