**Jon Bright (London,** [**OK**](http://ourkingdom.opendemocracy.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net)**):** OurKingdom has reproduced a copy of a speech given by Meg Russell of the Constitution Unit [here](http://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/articles/renewing%5Fdemocracy%5Fare%5Fwe%5Fbovvered). In it she tackles a question of fundamental importance to anyone pushing for constitutional reform - widespread public disinterest in the subject. Is democratic renewal the way to reverse disengagement? Or is there something more fundamental that needs to be done?
