English Given that socio-political understandings of disability have not impacted on legal discourse, this article asks two questions. First, why suggest a substantive solution, especially one that is framed by rights discourse, to ‘the problem’ of disabled people’s oppression? Second, how do perceptions of struggle, representation and participation in disability politics influence the way in which it engages with matters of policy? The article suggests that both questions ultimately concern discourse in situations where struggle and contest are highlighted. It argues that, in the search for solutions to social oppression, disabled people would gain much from developing a deeper understanding of ‘relational politics’ that moves beyond perceptions of disability as power and dominance
