I'd just like to say in the West, the council members make 
recommendations to the King and Queen and They decide to whom to 
offer elevation. From what I've seen, no matter what the disagreement 
may have been in the council before elevation, we usually close ranks 
and encourage and hope the new peer(s) fulfill their destiny, as it 
were.

I don't think there's any reason or excuse to tell a newly-elevated 
peer that you or anyone else doesn't think they are as good as any of 
the other peers in their Order.
