Do you think the Wizengamot just names the new Minister?  Does the 
Wizengamot put forth canidates for public election?  Does the public 
get a free campaign and election and total control of the whole 
thing?  Is "Junior Undersecretary to the Minister" like second in 
command and likely to take over if the Minister is incapacitated or 
killed or is this Jr basically a glorified coffee-fetcher, arse 
kisser?  

Bookworm:
For what it's worth, I think your first suggestion is the most 
likely. Just as the Junior Undersecretary to the Minister is chief 
go-fer, coffee-fetcher and note-taker. 

I also think – and have suggested this before without feedback – 
that the normal rules aren't going to apply in the next year or two. 
I predict a coup led by non-other than our friend Lucius Malfoy.  
Did you really think Fudge will be able to keep the Death Eaters in 
prison without the help of the traitorous Dementors? With a real 
crisis, Fudge will just wring his hands while Malfoy and company 
boldly marches into the Ministry.
