    To become a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom, candidates must be over 18 years old, a citizen of the UK, Ireland, or a Commonwealth nation, nominated by at least 10 registered electors, pay a £500 deposit, and stand for election representing a specific political party. Those who are members of the House of Lords, Welsh or Northern Irish assemblies, subject to bankruptcy restrictions, or currently imprisoned are disqualified from becoming MPs. The role involves extremely busy working conditions with long hours and responsibilities that make it difficult to balance family life, which may contribute to higher divorce rates among politicians.
