Is Arthur Weasley destined to become the Minister of Magic?

No: HPFGUIDX 89088

Poor Arthur has struggled to support his family in his insignificant 
ministry job probably since soon after leaving Hogwarts.  He seems to 
receive little respect, most certainly not from the Malfoys or even 
his son, Percy, who is currently licking Fudge's boots.

Does OotP give clues of a new prestigious job?  Current wisdom says 
that if Hermione says something, believe it.  Hermione is most often 
right.  If Ron says something, forget it because he is never right 
unless he is joking.

Ron joked in OotP that Gryffindor had as much chance of winning the 
Quidditch Cup as his dad did of becoming Minister of Magic.  
Gryffindor did in fact win the Quidditch Cup.  Could the poor, 
honest, Muggle loving Arthur have a political future ahead of him?
