Read the original article on lbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)A Liberal Democrat MP argues that first past the post has failed and sets four tests for the Government's National Commission on Electoral Reform. LBC labels it as opinion and discloses the author's party role. Nothing in the piece erases anyone, smears a named person, misuses a figure against the material supplied, or puts words in anyone's mouth, so there are no findings.
Opinion piece: read for false claims of fact and for fairness to the people it names, not for its opinions.
“Lisa Smart is the Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson and MP for Hazel Grove.”
LBC tells the reader the author is a Liberal Democrat spokesperson, so the reader knows the case for reform comes from a party with a stake in it.
“The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official LBC position.”
LBC marks the piece clearly as the author's view and not its own reporting, so the argument is not passed off as news.
