He is currently a spokesperson for Recognise, the movement to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples in the Australian Constitution.

In April 2001, Ridgeway was elected deputy leader of the Democrats, after Natasha Stott Despoja toppled Meg Lees in a leadership spill.

It was widely tipped that he would succeed her as leader. However, the media did not portray the spill kindly, labelling them the ‘Gang of Four’.
