Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
Of course it is. But its members are not called "Members of the UK Parliament" and that is what the question was. Its members are called "Peers."The House of Lords is part of Parliament.
Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
This question was missed.
Question: Member of the House of Lords?
Conditional Question: If so, member of Cabinet?

Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
No, not a member of the House of Lords or the UK Parliament (as far as I or Wikipedia or google know)

Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
Is politics one of his top sources of fame (using wikipedia as an example, politican or something of the like would be listed at the top, with the rest of the job related descriptors)?
Hopefully yes, otherwise we may have been looking in the wrong direction altogether...

Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
Well that was not what I meant when I asked the question, but I'm glad we got it cleared up.

Scratch this. Thanks Hom
Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
"Was he born in London?" would still be a perfectly good question though.Wattsthematter wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:32 amScratch this. Thanks Hom
Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
To clarify this, I mean somewhere other than England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (and Ireland, when it was part of the UK).

Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
It is not him
(To be clear regarding my prior statement, I viewed the word “country” as dropping out between the original and the clarification, but I’ll be the first to admit that the definition of the word “country” tends to be somewhat flexible, particularly in this era).
I will offer a clue after the next guess or question so everyone has a shot at it, since Hom is currently limited by the 2 question rule.
Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
Australia and New Zealand were both clearly "countries". It is an open question whether they were "states" before the 1931 Statute of Westminster, but if our subject is from any of the Dominions (all of which were countries), I will feel sorely misled.
Re: 20 Questions: Game 236
So could be a State/Province/Territory/Protectorate governor or similar? I'm kind of at a loss where to look now which is a shame after a promising start.
