Denise Findlay , a university educated professional from Dundee, feels like her life has been ruined. ‘The SNP is not the party I thought it was,’ she says to me down the phone. There’s something wrong at the top, is what I understand to be the gist of what she’s saying. After resigning from the Scottish National Party - or, as she puts it, being told her resignation had been accepted without her realising she had even tendered it - while remaining a firm supporter of Scottish independence, she says she can no longer trust the SNP’s disciplinary process. Denise is a soft-spoken woman. Over the phone she comes across as easilyexcitable, friendly, and has that air of giddy positivity that quite inexplicably characterises all the Dundonians I know. She doesn’t strike me as your typical anti-Semite.
