    To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.

    There’s a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.

    Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
    “It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.

    Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.

    Am I missing something?

      I mean… for all their talk about being fiscally conservative, there’s rampant corruption and terrible spending planning in the party.

      You could only look at that, and if you truly looked at it, decide to leave.
