While undoubtedly removed from contemporary philosophical debates about consequentialism, virtually all public servants intuitively resort to the premium attached in democratic societies to being able to defend actions or rules in terms of their impacts on all affected stakeholders in specific situations.
The basic problem with consequentialism is that it recognizes no limit in principle on what can be done to people in order to promote good consequences.
