The addition of "-gate" on the end of whatever is being discussed is meant to indicate political manuvering, but I agree with you when you say it is rather daft. The only real politics involved is how much money went where. And let's hope there is no Buttongate III, otherwise it'll probably be subtitled "And We're All Fed Up With It". “Buttongate” is a play on Watergate, the 1970’s White House political scandal.
