    It never fails to fascinate me how the most incongruous events in life can lead you in directions you never intended to pursue. How I found myself here, spending an hour at 05:30 on a Saturday morning, watching an interview with John Bercow, is too long a story of the twists and turns of a constantly searching mind that wakes too early and wonders too much. Suffice to say that I enjoyed the interview enormously and I’m really pleased to have discovered this site. But that’s not to say that I won’t have moved on to other worlds and other websites and forgotten all about you by the time I’ve finished breakfast.

But What Can I Do?

But What Can I Do?

Why politics has gone so wrong, and how you can help fix it

by

Alastair Campbell




"Your country needs you. Your world needs you. Your time is now."

Our politics is a mess. We have leaders who can't or shouldn't be allowed to lead. We endure governments that lie, and seek to undermine our democratic values. And we are confronted with policies that serve the interests of the privileged few. It's no surprise that so many of us feel frustrated, let down and drawn to ask, 'But what can I do?' That question is the inspiration behind this book. It's a question regularly posed to Alastair Campbell, not least in reaction to The Rest is Politics, the chart-topping podcast he presents with former Tory Cabinet minister Rory Stewart. His answer, typically, is forthright and impassioned. We cannot afford to stand on the sidelines. If we think things need to change, then we need to change them, and that means getting involved. But What Can I Do? provides each of us with the motivation and the tools to make a difference. Opening with an acute analysis of our polarised world and the populists and extremists who have shaped it, it goes on to show how we help transform it. It explains how we can develop our skills of advocacy and persuasion. It draws on Alastair’s long experience, as well as on role models and lessons from history, to offer practical tips on starting and leading a campaign. It offers advice on developing confidence and coping with criticism and setbacks. And it sets out the practical steps by which we can become political players ourselves. Part call to arms, part practical handbook, But What Can I Do? will prove required reading for anyone who wants to help change things for the better.
