Multilingual campaigning debate after Reform UK policy proposal

Original: https:// theconversation.com/zack-polan skis-urdu-video-multilingual-campaigning-is-good-for-politics-293569 . "#ReformU

Reform UK has published a policy called the Election Integrity Bill, in which the party promised to ban 'non-native' languages from election materials. The move is drawing criticism after Zack Polanski shared a video campaigning in Urdu, with commentators arguing that multilingual campaigning is good for politics and helps parties reach more voters.

Why now: Reform UK's proposal to restrict election materials to certain languages is being challenged by campaigners promoting multilingual outreach.
