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

Our politics is a mess We have leaders who cant or shouldnt 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 Its 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 Its a question regularly posed to Alastair Campbell not least in reaction to The Rest is Politics the charttopping 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 It explains how we can develop our skills of advocacy and persuasion It draws on Alastairs long experience to offer practical tips on putting together and leading a campaign team It provides priceless 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 make a difference
