Alexander Jesse Norman MP (born 23 June 1962) is a British politician who was first elected as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire at the 2010 general election. He was selected as his party's candidate by open primary in December 2006.
Norman was a director of Barclays before leaving the City of London in 1997 to research and teach at University College, London. Prior to that he ran an educational charity in Eastern Europe in the Communist era. Despite his rebellious past Norman was identified by Bruce Anderson, formerly political editor of The Spectator, in January 2013 as a potential future Tory leader.
Norman was educated at Eton College before going up to Merton College, Oxford, graduating with an Upper Second in Classics. He pursued further studies at University College London, where he held an honorary research fellowship in philosophy later being awarded a PhD in 2003. He also lectured in philosophy at University College and Birkbeck.
