Not at all.
These policies precede the current government by a long way.
It's actually so fundamental to how governments function across the 
globe, I can't believe anybody is seeing it as a 'new' thing.
If one could get a charity to do ones work for nothing, because one made 
up the rules that charity operates under, wouldn't one take advantage of 
one? And still make out one is actually doing the work or even required 
to exist so that the work gets done?

The Behavioural Insight Team has direct implications (and roots) in my 
peeve, as you call it.

The fact is that 'Behavioural Insight Team' is a nice PC name for:

50%   blackmail
25%   Carrot and stick
10%   thievery and backstabbing
17.5% Lies

And yes. They can't count and the errors are always in their favour.
