Compare regions
Each region: its economic output, the cost of the public offices serving it, and human development.
These regions are not ranked by quality or by position. Differences between regions come from geography, infrastructure and decades of investment - not from the performance of whoever is currently in office.

Unofficial estimate: the region's MP count times the monthly pay range reported by Mywage.org (2024), times 12 months. MPs with no primary region are left out, so the regional sum falls short of the national total. It is not included in the statutory cost. Source
Annual statutory compensation for officeholders representing this region, summed from published salary components. A constituency's cost is attributed wholly to its primary region and never split across regions, because no source supplies a basis for splitting. Where a constituency spans more than one region, the primary region is a recorded data-entry decision. Daily and one-time allowances are excluded because annualising them would require assuming a number of sitting days that the source does not state.
Regional economic output (GDP) at current market prices, as published by the National Bureau of Statistics. This is what a region PRODUCES, not what it pays in tax. No official source publishes tax collection by region. Output and tax diverge: a company headquartered in one region books its output there while operating nationwide.
The Human Development Index combines life expectancy, education and income. It reflects decades of infrastructure, geography and investment. It is not a measure of any individual representative's performance, and a change within one term cannot be attributed to one officeholder.
