Members of the Greek Parliament have begun estimating the amount of money they will lose in the event of early national elections. Estimates hover around 100,000 euros for each member of Parliament. There are approximately 16 months left until the 2016 elections are supposed to take place. Multiplying this number by 6000 – the average monthly salary for a member of the Greek Parliament – gives a total of 100,000 euros. The amount grows larger when the benefits Greek MPs are entitled to – telecommunications, fuel, commissions and travel expenses – are added.
