Tony in a 73' but Charlie lumps it in a Be200
Don't want to open a political debate here; not particularly interested in how y'all are going to vote but is it us who are paying for the PM to thrash round the country in a 737 while Kennedy made do with a Manhattan Beech Super King Air?
We must remember it's not the government chartering the 73' but the Labour party. Do we as taxpayers fund the parties individually or are they all funded through private donation?
From this question you'll see I'm not all that up on political financing so no p**staking please!
I've got a feeling this thread might get a padlock due to relevance; apologies if so.

The campaigns of the two major parties will come out at around 15-20 million apiece.
The source of the dosh is:
1) 'Short Money' Public funds paid to parties
2) Donations from rich people who either a) believe in the party or b) know a winner when they see one
3) Subscriptions from members (like me)
4) Bank loans, because nobody wishes to lose for a crappy five million or so.
There are statutory limits, but it is too boring to look them up.
At the risk of sounding really boring, the UK probably has the most honest political system in Europe.
French Presidents under investigation.
German ex Chancellor ditto
Italy - well, what can I say?
the list goes on......
