Did you have higher expectations of western politicians or think those were non-western rates?
Neither; it’s just that these are theoretically the most powerful people in the country and yet can be bought for 10k. I know they’re supposed to be servants of the people and all that, but still maybe pay them more so it’s at least more expensive to bribe them?
Okay Europeans (and Westerners in general), why are your politicians so fucking cheap to bribe?
