So there’s this guy, David Samuel, 3rd Viscount Samuel, who was the “only Israeli ever to be a member of the House of Lords” (see cite).
Foreigners can be Lords of the great sovereign state? Like US “honorary citizen” which every blue moon is given by Congress? In Britain, you have dual citizenry allowable in governmental authority–such as it is in House of Lords? A percentage limit?
My mind is full of questions.
Let alone about the style, but that’s another question.
Samuel was born in Jerusalem into the family of the then-British High Commissioner [of the Palestine mandate], so he was Israeli by birth (and later entitled to Israeli citizenship by dint of same), yet also British by birth.
Dual citizens can be peers so long as they are British residents at the time of their elevation.
Yep, in fact you don’t necessarily have to even be a British citizen. You can stand for election as an MP if you are a British citizen, a citizen of one of the other 51 Commonwealth countries, or an Irish citizen.
