You could at least make an effort to find out how it all works.

Though I thought a peerage took longer than this - is there a special mechanism whereby you get it automatically if you are asked to remain in a position without being an MP?
Will they be able to attend Commons to talk in their cabinet capacity or have to deputise an actual MP?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
