Business Jargon Invades Politics

It appears that corporate buzzwords which are used mainly in the business environment, have invaded politics. Politicians are increasingly using business jargon such as 'going forward', 'level playing field' and 'touch base' during speeches.

It is said that using this business language makes politicians and their rhetoric, seem more authoritative to the general public.
