I disagree with @neilgraysnp that everyone in The SNP is responsible for the own goal of misleading statements made re membership. Some of us have been warning for years that HQ was not being run professionally or transparently. We were monstered for it.

Joanna Cherry KC @neilgraysnp The SNP Your relentless HOLIER–THAN–THOU act is so telling..
abundantly clear that bitterness & hatred is your driving force - you're using your position as a vehicle for personal vendetta not to advocate for your electorate or for advancing the independence cause.

Shame on you!
