Well, from what I know about the politics is that the leaders or the politicians do not really care about the salary.  They want the the fame and the benefit brought to them.  Anyway, the leaders are mostly all rich and wealthy people, cut 36% means nothing to them at all !

As long as the world is at peace, with a booming economy, n the flourishing trading business, who cares what they do not need to know.
