A MOTHER and English literature graduate has been confirmed as the United Kingdom Independence Party's (UKIP) prospective parliamentary candidate for Walthamstow.
Judith Benli, is hoping to win the seat for the deeply Eurosceptic party.
She said: "Three quarters of UK laws, increasing daily, come from Brussels.
"The EU now controls our trade, post office closures, VAT, fuel taxes, immigration, policing and farming.
"We now have an EU Foreign Minister an EU diplomatic service and 700,000 unelected bureaucrats.
"For this we pay £45 million a day, set to increase.
"UKIP is the only party to offer a referendum on the EU "In or Out". We alone want to get our country back and govern ourselves."
Mrs Benli is the sixth candidate to announce their standing for election in the seat, currently held by Labour.
Former Waltham Forest mayor Stella Creasy (Labour), businessman Farid Ahmed (Lib Dem), councillor Andrew Hemsted (Conservative), geography graduate Daniel Perrett (Green), and Nancy Taafe (socialist) are the other confirmed candidates.
