To think if you can't understand English/Welsh or Gaelic you shouldn't be voting in a British election?

Is this unreasonable?

The Greens desperation is doing serious damage to their brand.

Why do you think this? I don’t know much about the Green’s campaign but I do believe everyone who lives in this country (and is therefore affected by its government) has a right to vote. If your POV is people who can’t speak English can’t educate themselves about who to vote for because they don’t understand the language then there’s plenty of ways around that - most likely have children or other family members who speak English who can translate for them and give them information. I don’t think that is your POV though, I think it’s just pure racism. Which is sad. Everyone who is a resident of a country has the right to vote for the government of that country.

Define speaking "English" etc. Having heard some who are supposed to be native English speakers in the media lately it's quite a wide variation 🙄
