For example: Labour sent me a "survey" asking me to rank the items on their 
pledge card in order of priority. (My report on it to TSC via democracyclub is 
here: http://www.thestraightchoice.org/leaflet.php?q=1221)

The Lib Dems sent me a two-page survey about crime, with an unusual blue 
(police/tory) colour scheme, which finished up with a "can't win here" dodgy 
bar chart and came in the same envelope as a postal vote registration form.

The survey bit is here: http://www.thestraightchoice.org/leaflet.php?q=1222

and the payoff bit is here:

I'm quite sure these are both ways of a) inducing the recipient to read the 
party's headline material and b) giving an impression of "openness".
