    Very interesting! While I see that many of the National MPs outspend the Labour ones, National is in government at the moment so this probably doesn’t point to anything unusual. I would expect MPs in government, especially ministers, to travel and spend more.

    With that said, National MPs seem to spend more on accommodation. I’m assuming “accommodation” is that thing where you buy a house in Wellington and get the government to pay your mortgage.
