Paula now:
This reminds me of something that's puzzled me for a long time.  The Weasleys are an old pure-blood wizarding family just like the Malfoys.  So why has their status always been so low?  Why does Arthur get such little respect in the MM?  Makes me think that we've yet to learn something of importance about the political scene at the MM.  I've always suspected that Fudge has a skeleton in the closet somewhere--look at his name. (In American English to fudge is to cheat a little, not quite follow the rules.)  Also, have always suspected that Percy doesn't know or understand the significance of the political workings at the MM.  With his ambition to reach the top, he'd easily fail to see or dismiss  evidence of skeletons in the closet.   Anyone pick up any hints in canon?
