A number of people replied to my last column ; many in support of what I wrote and one in particular registering a protest that I generalised too much from my own experience in my own constituency.

He is a state assemblyperson and felt that he has been a very responsible and credible one, and that my generalisation may hurt him too. I apologise, but I was only talking to my state and parliamentary representatives.

I've therefore decided to write another piece on how an average voter should decide how to vote, as a guide for all.
