Call for simpler language in run-up to the election

Su Sayer, Chief Executive of United Response, has called for less jargon, simpler language and better use of visual aids in the run-up to the election. The organisation, (which supports people with learning disabilities and mental health needs), says simpler language will help these groups to understand politics. She said that these groups find politics complex and alienating, but as voting citizens they have the right to understand the issues.
