Step 1. Join the Conservative Party.

Step 2. Become an MP.

Step 3. Get two or more jobs.

Step 4. When the bank balance is over £10 million, donate the going rate of £3 million to party funds for a knighthood.

And at a later date another donation of the same amount for a seat in the Lords.

In between the MP can represent his constituents in the House of Commons if he has the time.
