Struggling to decide who to vote for - Nigel Nelson's FIVE key questions may help...

YouGov doesn’t give her a name, but I’d like to think it is something exotic such as Constanzia, Petronella or Augustina.

But it could equally be more commonplace such as Jane, June, or Jade.

YouGov doesn’t explain why this should be the demographic of the undecided, But it gives me an opportunity to have fun with a handy guide to help Jess, Jaafar and Juniper, and anyone else unsure of their decision.

As only around 200,000 votes in the most marginal seats decide elections they could be responsible for the next government if they’re living in the right places.

STEP ONE: Resolve to hand in a completed ballot paper, either by post, or in person at the polling station. If you want to spoil it, feel free.

The candidates see all spoiled ballots at the count, so if you’re minded to send a rude (but not offensive) message they will definitely read it.

And you can take pride in taking part in the democratic process, and prove you’re not too lazy to climb out from under the duvet.

STEP TWO: Now you’ve opted to make the effort you might as well put a cross against the candidate you would like to see as your next MP. If you’re already their next door neighbour - or in a romantic relationship with them - that should mean you know something about them. If you have never met any of your local politicians because you’ve been hiding under the duvet when they come to call, skip this step and move onto the next.

STEP THREE: If you’re still in a quandary over which party will do the least worst job in government, think what your top issue is and check who has the most realistic plan to deal with it.

Polls usually say the cost of living heads the list of concerns which means a healthy economy will be your priority. So imagine you are choosing a bank manager to trust with your money.

This concept should not prove difficult as both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer come across very much in the bank manager mould. Ed Davey? More life insurance salesman, I’d say.

And Reform UK’s Richard Tice looks like the the property investment CEO he once was. Anyway, in these guises they are all au fait with dosh so your decision should rest on who will best look after yours.

STEP FOUR: If that doesn’t quite cut it perhaps you could take a little quiz to find out if you are more to the right or the left in politics. That might help with voting intention. So try these...

1) A hardware store buys shovels wholesale for £10 each and sells them for £15. When the snow comes it ups the price to £20. Is that unfair? Yes/No.

2) Men are not always men nor women women and a woman can be a man and a man can be a woman for official purposes. Yes/No

3) Cross Channel migrant William the Conqueror did Britain a big favour by introducing us to French culture. Yes/No

4) All PMs should have an umbrella to hand when announcing general elections. Yes/No

5) Party leaders should offer everyone an owl .Yes/No

6) Have you just answered all six questions in this quiz? Yes/No

If you replied yes to all then you are a bit of a leftie, and a bit of a political nerd, too, if that included Q6! Mostly no means you swerve towards the right.

Question one was genuine, by the way. It was originally devised by American economic psychologists to test political opinion and it seems to work when I’ve tried it out on Tory and Labour MPs.

The Tories say shovel selling is down to supply and demand and in a free market such a price hike is reasonable. Labour MPs tend to condemn it as excessive profiteering and say it should not happen.

But let’s move on......to STEP FIVE: You’re ready now to exercise your democratic rights. Find the location of your nearest polling station and don’t forget your ID.

You can scowl at anyone wearing a rosette, but smile at the poll clerks who will be having a long and trying day.

And at 10pm on Thursday, July 4th exit polls should tell you with reasonable accuracy what the final result will be.

But if you are disappointed, don’t call it a night and bury your head under the duvet.
