I received the Rent Commission's flyer in the mail today.
It might seem trivial, but the increasing use of the PLP's signature green in Government documents continues to proliferate (check the budgets of the past few years. 2007 was the last year it was not printed in green).
This the most visible demonstration of partisan messaging overwriting policy. (The other is of course the move to name public buildings after partisan figures).
Government mailers and PLP election materials are becoming indistinguishable.
The civil service is apolitical (hence the heavy use of consultants - they're loyal to their patron and bypasses checks and balances).
The blatant and not-so-blatant infusion of political branding is insidious and indicative of the the rampant politicisation of public policy and the Civil Service.
