Mandy here:
Far better than Arthur as Minister is his wife Molly.  She really is 
the best person for a high stress job that requires high management 
and delegation skills.   I'm know other people have mentioned this 
before, but I can't remember whom off the top of my head.  Sorry to 
not credit you here.  Molly Weasley is also a fierce fighter and will 
not back down to anyone in a fight.  Look at the way she deals with 
an angry Sirius in OotP. She didn't flinch or was in any way 
intimidated by him. Which is saying something. Sirius Black is a 
scary guy.   Molly would make an interesting and strong war time 
Minister.

Anyway, having said that, I don't see JKR making Molly Minister 
however as she seemingly has no experience. Unless it turns out that 
Molly worked in politics before she started having all those kids. 
But some how I doubt it.
