Mandy here:
I disagree for the reason that the WW is now at war and a strong 
leader is needed to stop the WW from imploding and destroying it's 
self.  As much as I love Arthur, is not a strong leader. In fact he 
is not a leader at all. This is not an insult, as some people are 
just not born to lead.  DD will be called upon, whether he'll take 
it or not, remains to be seen. Would DD put forward Weasley's name 
in his place?  Perhaps. Although if he did, Arthur would simply be a 
puppet leader to DD himself.  And perhaps that's DD plan? But I just 
don't want to see Arthur used in that way.
  
Now if it were peace time I might be inclined to agree with you 
all.  AW might be the best man for the job as far as his muggle 
expertise is concerned. Although if I were a witch, I would not be 
at all confident with a man who has an obsession with plugs 
representing my interests to the muggles.  But unfortunately he does 
appear to be the only man who has any interest in the outside the 
WW. Which is another death blow to the WW, imo, but that's another 
debate. 

It looks like the Office of Muggle Realations is going to get busy 
in the next 2 books anyway.  Just don't make Arthur Weasly MOM if 
you want the WW to exist after Harry's defeated LV.

Cheers, Mandy
