I wanted to vote but I forgot it's this Sunday. I hope the Humanists got enough votes. They're the only party that isn't complete bullshit.

You… forgot?

The 'Die Humanisten' got 62,613 votes or 0.2%, not enough for a seat.

Their salary is 6k euro on hand per month, plus some crazy benefits. Unless they give me some of that I'm not voting, na mean.

That's actually rather low compared to some countries. I was honestly expecting 8k+

Hey, it's not like I have a clock on my desk always showing me when to vote for what. I only noticed it in the evening because of the google doodle, but it was too late.

I want to be proud that they at least got that many votes but then I'm looking at what other smaller parties have gotten even more votes. This world is terrible.

Yeah. I just looked up how it is here in germany:

"Die Abgeordnetenentschädigung beträgt seit dem 1. Juli 2018 monatlich 9.780,28 Euro."

This means since 2018 the member of german Bundestag (national parliament) get 9780,28€ per month (and yes, these 28 cents are totally important, probably result of a percentage-increase they applied).

It's an Entschädigung for Abgeordnete. It's really not that difficult.

Yeah, the humanists were also among the parties I considered, but I decided in the end for DieM25 - which also didn't get enough for a seat.

Yeah well, the work as a representative (Abgeordneter) is so damaging to ones soul, that you need reparation (Entschädigung). That's why Abgeordnetenentschädigung.

Da kann ich über!

An US senator receives $174 000 per year plus benefits, which is $14 500 per month.  And that's just the Rank-and-file Members, higher members get higher wages. Majority and Minority Party leaders receive $193 400 ($16 117 per month), while the Speaker of the House gets $223 500 ($18 625 per month): https://www.thoughtco.com/salaries-and-benefits-of-congress-members-3322282

I should tell this the members of our parliament. They probably will adapt their income to match the ones from the US. In questions of the money they receive they are kinda effective and fast in getting it done.

Well, since I'm Belgian, I have to vote. The national elections are more interesting to me though (they're also tomorrow).

I still don't know who to vote for. Every voting test gives me a different result. Aside from the extremes, each party has its pros and cons.

As a Belgian i did not vote,i gladly accept a fine before voting for people i do not want to vote for.
