Bundestag Chatter

 I sat and watched N-TV news this AM, and there's talk that the Bundestag has finally decided....yes, thee should be a limit on members to the German parliament.

After the last federal election, the membership grew to 736.

The SPD-Green-FDP majority has established that it's 'bloated' and their new number?  It'll be 598.

Agreeable and easy to pass?  No one is saying that.

You would think it'd be set to the Landkreis (districts)....which come to 401. 

Saving money?  Well....each single member makes....per month, 10,012 Euro.  So it adds up to a bundle to have 736 members.
