Brenda from Bristol – the voice of an agonised nation – put it bluntly: “not another one!”
Her vox pop response to earlier suggestions of another election summed up the views of many ballot weary folk and promptly went viral.

For the thing about elections is that taking part is your only passport to moan about anything which happens thereafter.
I’ve no time for the “they’re all the same” school of lazy thought. Firstly because self-evidently they’re not all the same – and if you can’t tell your Boris from your Nicola, or your Jo from your Jeremy, then you really, really do need to get out more.
