One aspect of the house I found surprising after being appointed in 2013 is that once you are in, it is oddly democratic. Yes, some people are listened to more than others, but that’s often because they usually have something worthwhile, or funny, to say. Others, with status in the outside world, are considered irritating and even boring. (Personally, Alan Sugar comes to mind.)
