The more a political party squanders money on election gimmickry in terms of propaganda adverts, billboards, glossy brochures etc, the more it exposes itself as having a money-no-problem attitude. It raises many an eyebrow with regard to the source of that funding and, in my case, it simply discourages me from voting for them in the forthcoming election.

The party is already sending a negative message when it uses funding which is due to be regulated and monitored by a law promised by none other than the outgoing Prime Minister. But squandering public funds on adverts and costly glossy publications to propagate what this and that minister has achieved reminds us of the propaganda used in the late 1980s.

I'm sure quite a number of readers share this sentiment and will refrain from voting for that party which feels the need to speak louder than actions themselves.
