Democracy isn’t broken—it’s stuck. Around the world, people are growing angry and polarized—not because they’ve stopped caring, but because democracy has stopped evolving. The result isn’t apathy—it is a rising sense of political futility. In Democracy’s Second Act, Peter MacLeod and Richard Johnson argue that the First Act of democracy—anchored in voting rights and representative government—achieved extraordinary gains. Free elections, near-universal suffrage, and the peaceful transfer of power reshaped societies and expanded human freedom. But these achievements represent the promise of democracy, not its completion. Their book offers a hopeful, clear-eyed vision for what comes next. Drawing on ground-breaking citizens’ assemblies in Ireland, Canada and France—as well as democratic innovations from more than a dozen countries—MacLeod and Johnson show how we can build on the legacy of the First Act by creating new institutions that tap into the talents, judgement, and capabilities of ordinary people. They make the case that the public isn’t a risk to be managed, but a powerful resource ready to be harnessed and that the future depends on giving citizens real responsibility, not just a periodic vote. Smart, story-driven, and deeply grounded in political theory and practice, Democracy’s Second Act is for change-makers ready to move beyond cynicism and rebuild democracy for a new era.

Address to the inhabitants of the colonies, established in New South Wales and Norfolk Island presents a moral and religious exhortation intended to guide the early settlers and convicts toward repentance and spiritual renewal. Rev. Richard Johnson delivers a compassionate yet urgent appeal, reminding his audience of the eternal significance of their souls and the necessity of living in accordance with Christian principles. The text opens with a solemn reflection on the moral challenges faced within the fledgling colonies, urging individuals to turn from corruption, vice, and neglect of duty toward a life governed by faith and obedience. Johnson's counsel centers on the transformative power of repentance and the redemptive promise offered through devotion to Jesus Christ. He reinforces the importance of scriptural study, Sabbath observance, and moral integrity as foundations of both personal virtue and social harmony. Through his earnest tone and pastoral concern, the address stands as both a spiritual guide and a historical document capturing the moral aspirations of early colonial life.

Labour leader Harold Wilson was once asked how difficult he found being prime minister of the United Kingdom. ‘Not half as difficult as being Leader of the Opposition’, he replied. Sadly for the Labour Party, much of the last century has been spent in shadow government. But were these wasted years in the Party’s history? Or did they offer vital opportunities for creation and improvement? In Keeping the Red Flag Flying political historians Mark Garnett, Gavin Hyman and Richard Johnson offer the first in-depth account of Labour’s periods out of office since becoming the Official Opposition in 1922. They argue that, far from being barren periods in the Party’s history, Labour’s opposition years from MacDonald to Starmer have been undervalued and misunderstood. Across the book’s eight chapters they scrutinise Labour’s approach to reforming the party machinery, its development of policy proposals, its success in appealing to the wider electorate and its skill in opposing the government to identify the key hallmarks of successful opposition, as well as common mistakes. As the Labour Party prepares for a long-awaited return to government, this insightful book on Labour’s past has vital lessons for the Party’s future.
