If it’s an election then it must also be time for a vox pop or two (hundred), when broadcasters hit the streets to find out what the ordinary voter makes of it all.

And every so often one of the respondents speaks not just for themselves but for the entire nation.

Remember this woman when she was asked how she felt about Boris Johnson finally resigning?

“How do you feel?”

And of course everyone remembers when Brenda was asked about the prospect of another poll back in 2017.

“NOT ANOTHER ONE!”

Watch Brenda’s reaction when I tell her that the PM wants a General Election. Safe to say, she’s not impressed.#Bristol pic.twitter.com/IYEdGBryyZ

Well now another vox pop has gone viral, the woman interviewed by BBC News after Rishi Sunak’s surprise election announcement on Wednesday, and it’s four seconds very well spent.
