Consider this, Ministers including the Prime Minister, come from the pool of MPs or House of Lords. They are not positions where you join at the bottom and take 20 years to make your way up to MD. The right sort of people need to able to consider becoming an MP, because they could quickly find themselves making important decisions as a Minister. They may be MPs that are not up to the job, but there is no way of differentiating between those that are and those that aren't.
