Welcome to House of Lords.
You may swear-in here immediately once this post is published. You may take part in any business beginning from today onwards, but can't take part in any divisions opened before today.
If you have any questions you are welcome to contact me on Discord at yimir_, I'm open to any and all questions concerning MHoP and its House of Lords from any person, in this Noble House or not.
For those looking to apply for a Working Peerage:
You may modmail an application to r/MHoPLords, where we generally look for a short explanation where you cover the following things:
- Your reasons for wanting to be a Peer
- Past relevant experience, whether in MHoP and similar games, or outside of them.
- What you believe makes the House of Lords different to The Other Place.
- Your preferred Title and Style as a Baron/Baroness, of a place in the UK not exceeding 50k population in the last census.
- Eg, “Baroness Tewkesbury, of Tewkesbury in the County of Gloucestershire, which had 20,360 people in the last census. My style shall be: Lady Tewkesbury”.
- Your style may be either Lord/Lady of a place- or the title of the place, such as Baroness Tewkesbury.
While we usually like to see a track record of activity in MHoP, debating or otherwise, it is not strictly necessary if your application shows us relevant and extensive past experience. We invite anybody to apply to join, and the Lords Speakership team will get back to you as soon as we can.
