Janette Jones

Janette Jones (August 1931 – ?) was a Scottish nationalist politician.

Born into a working-class family in Kilsyth, Jones studied at Kilsyth Academy before marrying and having four children. She joined the Scottish National Party (SNP) and won a seat on Kilsyth Burgh Council. She also sat on the SNP's executive, serving as Vice Chairman with responsibility for publicity, and later as Vice President of the party.

Jones stood for the SNP in West Stirlingshire in both the February and October 1974 general elections, this second election being her best performance, coming only 367 votes behind the winner. She stood again in 1979, then in Clackmannan at the 1983 general election, and finally Mid Scotland and Fife at the 1984 European Parliament election.

Jones died before 2004, when Winifred Ewing wrote a tribute to her in her own autobiography, describing her as a "one of the most loved activists the party ever had".
