Reform UK will campaign to change the “outdated” First Past The Post electoral system, Nigel Farage has said.

Mr Farage, who secured a seat in Clacton-on-Sea in Essex last night, said the election of four Reform MPs had given the party a “bridgehead” in parliament.

The party received more than 4 million votes but the Reform UK leader claimed they could have gained “nearly 100 seats” if the UK had proportional representation.

Mr Farage said: “It’s very much my view that our outdated, First Past The Post electoral system is not fit for purpose and we will campaign with anyone and everyone to change this electoral system.

“That’s what we’ll be doing and we’ll make those arguments in parliament as quickly as we can.”
