Top 20 EU Politician Pay for 2011....

Recent news about Singapore super high politician pay that almost change my profession from finance to politician, haha.... just kidding.... but well personally i feel that US$2.2m package for Singapore‘s PM considers okie as he really did some contribution to Singapore and well the govt is less corrupted as compared to the rest of the world....

But recently, a new young member in parliament that causes a lot of woohaa in local community. This young parliament member is only 25 years old, and only near to 3 years experience in consultancy department in Ernst and Young SG. I am sure her pay is far below what EY paid me. Who knows once she is elected as member, she receive about S$15,000 pay check a month from government!!!!!!!!! what the fxxk, this should be 4 to 5 fold of what she received from EY.... sigh.... the conclusion is professional hardly earn a big pay check, maybe just a pay check that you will just enough to feed your stomach and family....


Well, the article is copied from business insider.com as usual.... lets check it out....





Now, let's have a look with the Euro top 20 politician pay, according to the report this only show the base pay but not included any additional allowance or perks that they entitled to along the way of their service term.... still far away from Singapore politician pay.... haha....

Italy, deep in the midst of a national bout of soul searching over their enormously wasteful state (for example, read about Mario Monti's New Year's Eve dinner here), has had its national statistics office look into exactly how much money politicians get paid in different countries.

The resulting study revealed the base salaries that each EU country's politicians earned along with a look at the perks and expenses that politicians can also claim as part of their living.

Taking this data (and additional, slightly older, data from the Directorate General of the European Parliament) we've compiled a list of which EU countries pay their serving politicians the best.

Now if this list is logical, as Ezra Klein has noted, it would roughly correlate with the GDP of the countries. Of course, it doesn't! And somehow we're betting you might be able to guess who comes in at number 1...

(Please note: that we haven't included expenses, just base salary. Of course there are some very substantial perks at work for some of these politicians.)
