Comment on 2010 General Election Results by Darren Thomas.

I believe that your statement about Caroline Lucas beng the first Green MP anywhere in the world under a 1st past the post system is incorrect. It’s certain that in France there has been at least one that I can name; being Noel Mamère, MP for Bègles (sub-division of Bordeaux).
I believe that there have been and are other Green MP’s
in France although I can’t name them with 100% certainty at this moment.
NB In France there is a second round between the 1st and 2nd places if an outright majority is not attained in the 1st round. (they call the rounds “tours”).
SO – Essentially the system is 1st past the post.
What’s more, I believe (although it might be worth checking out) That Noël Mamère doesn’t normally need a second round to keep his seat.
YES it’s even a safe seat!

Although I urge you to maybe double chack on the finer details of this comment.
