According to the calculation of the German Economic Institute (IW), after the upcoming elections, after the upcoming elections, more than 100 seats cutting reforms will improve from the lower house of Parliament.
Improvement will fix the number of depots at 630 in Bundestag.
Under the previous election law, after adding the results of direct elections in the constituencies, a separate number of additional seats can be added to the proportional votes of the chamber match to create the size of the overall party.
Consequently, Bundestag raised size in size after each national vote, and most recently reached a record 736 depot after the 2021 election.
The IW study said that any savings from a small Bundestag are much lower than the budget of the overall German government, and will not go far towards addressing problems in the country.
However, the economic think tank argued that the symbolic effect should not be underestimated.
IW budget expert Tobias Hentayz said, “Politicians are proving that they are also ready to cut their own budget.” “It can be a good omen for a politically challenging challenging in the next four years.”
The largest factor in € 125 million annual savings is the low cost of parliamentary salary (€ 13 million), low payment for parliamentary groups (€ 20 million) and low colleagues for legalists and employees (€ 44 million).
In addition, there are many other individual items such as office equipment and travel expenses that contribute to further savings.
