Generally speaking politics is simply about your life and what you've experienced and since everyone has a life they have a legitimate right to vote based on that life experience .
Given up that right and leaving it to someone else wouldn't exactly work out too well going on history or country's where democracy doesn't exist .
Name me one dictatorship that's hasn't or won't end in catastrophe ? , I'll start with Hitler and leave you with Putin .
The art of deciding who to vote for is to be able to distinguish between who is telling you the least amount of lies or not revealing what their real intentions are .
In the Barnsley constituencies we have those two classic examples fighting it out .
Both lie and both aren't telling you what their real intentions are .
So now we are playing a game of whose deceit is likely to be worse rather than who has the better intentions .
At least ultimately it's still your choice .
