    Anyway Netherlands is 11th in the table you posted, where you said earlier that they never are in any table.
    But facts don't matter for a amoeba like you

    have a go at answering the following questions and then see if there's a trend...;

    Does the WTO have a parliament?
    Does the WTO have an army?
    Does the WTO have an anthem?
    Does the WTO have a flag? (not a logo)
    Does the WTO hand out gold-plated pensions to employees?
    Does the WTO give overly generous expenses to employees, whilst maintaining austerity is enforced elsewhere?
    Does the WTO tell sovereign countries to 'redo' their budget?
    Does the WTO only use internal auditors?
    Does the WTO have 2 Headquarters, that they move between at considerable cost?


    Just off the top of my head, see if you can think of any more differences....

    It's tough. The EU has a parliament, because it is a democratic organisation and the population of Europe vote for our representatives in there.

    So some Brexiters complain that it has a parliament, and some complain it isn't democratic enough. Maybe they also need a House of EU Lords?

    Does the WTO have a flag? (not a logo)
    Well, when the logo appears on a flag...



    Does the WTO give overly generous expenses to employees, whilst maintaining austerity is enforced elsewhere?
    It's an old article
    No salary hike now, WTO tells its chief | Business Standard News
    But its from 2009, at the height of the credit crunch, when the then WTO Director General was trying to give himself a 30% payrise. (which got denied). Apparently back then he was on half a million dollars a year and still wanted 30% more.

    Roberto Azevedo - Wikipedia - the current WTO DG gets a CHF 300,000 salary with a CHF 200,000 allowance.

    The Prime Minister's salary is only £150,000.
