Heather Anderson (born 31 January 1959) is a Scottish National Party (SNP) politician who briefly served as the Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the Scotland constituency in late January 2020.
However, following the election to the UK House of Commons of first-placed Alyn Smith at the 2019 United Kingdom general election, he ceased to be an MEP, since an individual cannot serve as a representative in both a member state's legislature and the European Parliament.
This made Anderson eligible for the newly vacant SNP seat,[6][7] which she took up on 27 January 2020.
She would, however, serve as an MEP for only four days, until 31 January when the Brexit process completed.
[4][5][8] At the 2022 Scottish local elections, Anderson stood as councillor for the SNP in Dundee City Council.
