Occupied Territories 'MPs' Earn More Than British MPs

“MPs” in the occupied territories are paid more than British MPs following the latest increase in “public sector” salaries based on the ATA. According to economist Engin Kara, the salary of an “MP” in the occupied territories has reached £8,500, 8.1 times the minimum wage, while in the United Kingdom it is £7,825, 2.5 times the average income. This difference highlights the inequality between the political elite and the rest of society in the occupied territories. Discussions took place in the “assembly” regarding the readjustment of the ATA to benefit low-wage earners.
