Why would anyone want to be a junior minister? You're required to defend to the hilt government policies that you've had no part in forming. Regarding your own department's policies, you're expected to maintain publicly that black is white in the teeth of universal scepticism, as in (for instance) "school exams standards have not fallen". Presumably they have no self-respect.
