Efficiency of Governments
-
Taiwan:
Population= 22,700,000
Legislative Members = 225
Population per Legislative member = 100,888
Singapore:
Population = 4,300,000
Members of Parliament = 85
Population per Member of Parliament = 50,588
Hong Kong:
Population = 7,100,000
Legislative Council = 60
Population per Legislative Member = 118, 333
U.K.:
Population = 59,400,000
House of Commons = 646
Population per Member = 91,950
South Korea:
Population = 48,000,000
Legislative Branch = 273
Population per Member = 175,824
A large number of population size relative to legislative council member (MP) would indicate higher efficiency as 1 member is required to serve a larger portion of the population.
Ranking of the 5 governments, highest efficiency first, least efficient last.
1)South Korea (Most Efficient)
2)Hong Kong
3)Taiwan
4)U.K.
5)Singapore (Most Inefficient)
Singapore finished last because each MP served only 50,588, half of what legislative councils members in Hong Kong served.
It's pathetic, our government is half as efficient as all the governments used in comparison. -
Other countries got throw cai png at other members leh. We sit down calmly and talk.

and they pay themselves better.

Never complain to your MP about discrimination?
Oh wait. Nevermind. -
Wonder why they want to have so many MPs for such a small country like Singapore?
-
you're forgetting that complaining and whinning is a Singaporean past time ....
that's why we need so many MPs .... if the ratio is any higher MPs will be doing nothing else but meet the people sessions ... -
Before this turns into a government bashing thread, let me say something good about them. Erhm...Originally posted by Fatum:you're forgetting that complaining and whinning is a Singaporean past time ....

Haha...what kind of a warped logic is this...
You must as well say that if we have one doctor to serve half a million people, our healthcare service would be super efficient
