How come Axel Rappe was not a member of parliament when he was Minister for War? And where in NF does it say that he wasn't? – Elisson • T • C • 07:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

A member of the government was appointed by the prime minister (and the king) whereas members of the parliament are and where elected by the people allowed to vote. Thus - you don't and didn't have to be an MP to be qualified for Ministerial offices. If he had been elected an MP, NF would have mentioned it, but they don't. Still not convinced? //M96hardh (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
