Features Overview
Nusrat Ghani, MP
The curious thing about being a Conservative MP, is how some on the left can’t cope with us. Being BAME, working class, an immigrant, a feminist and Conservative seems alien to them. But us women have had to deal with controlling attitudes all of our lives, being told to know our place, manage our expectations and keep in line.
Dr.Nora Minorics (LL.M)
I became involved in politics last year as I wanted to bring positive energy and ideals to our community. With my special interest in law, I would like to stand up for the protection of our ethnic minorities, with a special focus put on autonomy arrangements and channels for ethnic participation in public affairs.
The core interest of my legal group are the various legal and institutional aspects of the protection of fundamental rights, including general human rights of the majority and national or ethnic minorities throughout the world. I explore legal guarantees of the aforementioned rights in domestic legislation and their correlation with different standards.
