There is a short N-TV (Germany's commercial news network) story today, which talks over the issue of the Bundestag's (the German parliament) numbers.
Since the fall election of 2017, there's been 709 folks sitting in the Bundestag (an all-time record). There's no country in Europe with that many folks of a political nature in their parliament.
This has been viewed for several months, and in the past week....the Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble...says that a reduction plan will be presented by the end of 2018.
An immediate reduction? No. Just about everyone, so says N-TV, would prefer that the system run through until the next election (normally, it'd be in September of 2021, unless called earlier).
The last Bundestag President wanted to keep a limit of 630 folks, and some folks will go and suggest it ought to go below 600 itself.
