Of course the job of foreign minister might appear to be just another job for the boys(girls?) but in reality in the coming years that person will be the one negotiating, on behalf of the member states, our EU position on WAR with the likes of Obama and the Chinese etc.
Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing as the UK would only go to war with the EU rather than at the drop of any hat. Also presumably we would only send our fair share of troops and kit.
Not a job for a puppet or a muppet. It might just work out to the UK's adavantage having a British person in the job.

That presupposes of course that the UK has a government capable of performing its task in a proficient way and planning in a strategic manner.
Naturally, by that stage the UK will part of the enhanced EU structure and the capability of the sovereign government to have any real say will be greatly diminished.
Puppets such as Ms Ashton will be incapable of exerting little but the will of the EU. For her and those of like mind Nation has been discarded for the allure this super state.
The EU monster will only thrive by diktat and enforced compliance, so the inconsequential voices presently echoing thought the corridors of this nation’s parliament will fall upon purposefully deafened ears.
To revert to the colloquial – we’ve been done up like a kipper my son
