01:22The Green party MP, Caroline Lucas, has declared the first-past-the-post voting system as broken. Describing an electoral system which at general elections favours the larger parties at the expense of smaller groups, Lucas said: “I think one of the lessons of tonight’s results overall is that the first-past-the-post voting system is broken,” she told reporters in Southampton. The EU elections use a proportional method to choose MEPs. Lucas then told Sky News: “The clear indication is those parties that made it their business to say our future is better off in the EU did better than the hard Brexiteers. Let’s make sure that is what people hear loud and clear.”
