Even though his dad had been a Tory, Ripon was initially a Whig and later a Liberal. He went into the House of Commons as part of Hull in 1852. Both he and his gathering partner, James Clay, (Hull was a two-seat electorate) were unseated in 1853 by request over cases of far and wide debasement in their political decision, of which they were absolved of any knowledge. In 1859 he succeeded his dad as second Earl of Ripon, sitting down in the House of Lords, and soon thereafter succeeded his uncle in the more senior title of Earl de Gray, getting known as the Earl de Gray and Ripon.
