House of Lords

[Prisoner24601]

Has anyone considered or tried to join the House of Lords as a life peer?

You can’t you can only be nominated by the PM and then accepted by the crown

[Prisoner24601]

What about joining as a Crossbencher?

Makes no difference. The only way you could get in other than being nominated by the PM and then accepted by the crown is if you are an hereditary peer

On the off chance that they end up with a PM? They would need a leader first!!

Interesting wonder when that changed. Not hugely rewarding in terms of money and I wonder if you get to call yourself lord
