We do not republish articles from The Scotsman. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on scotsman.com (opens in a new tab)The Scotsman reports Scottish Conservative MSP Stephen Kerr's call to overhaul the Holyrood list voting system and his claim that the Scottish Greens "gamed" it. The article attributes Kerr's claims to him, notes that he was himself elected on the list, and gives the Scottish Greens a full reply. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“as he says the Scottish Greens “gamed it” to get a “disproportionate” number of MSPs”
The Scotsman attributes the charge that the Greens gamed the system to Kerr and keeps it in quotation marks, so the outlet does not adopt it as its own description.
“despite being elected on the list system themselves”
The opening sentence tells the reader at once that Kerr is himself a list MSP, which is material context for his call to scrap the list.
