Plus, while he does have the WW gripped pretty firmly within his
fist, we don't see how he managed it. Voldemort certainly puts
little effort into it. I think one guy gets Imperioused and another
gets killed, and Bob's your Uncle, he's running the show? Really?
Just like that?

I think we do see it with Ministry (sorry, I know I keep talking 
about it, but I just love how JKR did it, love). So, what do we see?

We see as early as GoF Malfoy already being buddy buddy with Fudge, 
accordingly I think it is a very valid assumption that if Malfoy is 
friends with Minister, he is not just friends with him, but with his 
employees as well, some of them anyways. Check.

And with Umbridge, aren't they buddies as well? What I said before, 
Voldemort making sure that one of the decent people who can be 
candidate for a minister's position is, well dead from his hand. 
Check.

We have Scrimgeour? Surround him by people, who are, well Voldemort's 
sympathizers, yes Imperio couple of them.

I think it was not just like that. And when Ministry is taken over, 
taking over WW sadly is easy IMO.
