The line that I deleted reflected opinion, not fact, since while it is definitely true that Baroness Ashton was never elected to any office, something that follows from the text of the entry, to say that this is "noteworthy" is nothing more than opinion. After all, she is a peer, and therefore not even entitled to stand for Parliament in the UK. So please leave that sentence deleted.

Response: but this is the whole point: she was appointed to the House of Lords, and has been appointed to every office she has held since. She has never stood for election to anything at all. This time, I have tried a compromise wording, not including the word "noteworthy". 79.79.25.53 (talk) 19:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
