History
Waters was formerly a Labour Party member and was nearly selected as a parliamentary candidate. For several years she worked for One Law For All.
After failing to be selected as a Labour candidate she joined UKIP and was briefly its candidate for Basildon and Billericay, between approximately July 2014 and October 2014[1]when she appears to have been de-selected. Around this time she left, or was asked to leave One Law For All which subsequently condemned her right-wards lurch.
