The former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas has been urging people to reject tactical voting dismissing the suggestion voting for smaller parties such as hers amounted to "wasting" a vote.

"Up and down the country, the sense that I'm getting is that people are fed up with tactical voting, that there is far more of a sense of people wanting to vote for what they believe in, and in particular, what the Green Party is offering," she said.

"[People] are fed up of voting with a nose peg over their noses, and when they take that nose peg off, there is a pretty nasty smell around," she added.
