Politicians are breeding like frigging lice in the UK. There are the normal set of MP's (Members of Parliament), then the euro MP's, and now also the regional governments with their own set of MP's. They need staff to do thier stuff too.

This is in addition to the local councils, elected councillors, mayors and all that guff.

Costs a fortune, and they don't get much done. As a rule of thumb, more politicians, less useful work gets done.
