Will never get over how the UK/Europe uses "scheme" as a perfectly neutral word. Over here if you have a scheme I'd expect you to be twirling your moustache villainously

I usually call them scams but I'm going to start calling them schemes too.

We also do it in Australia.

In Victoria we recently got the Container Deposit Scheme for example, which gives tiny refunds on plastic bottles and I assume does something evil with them

Lmao no one has any right to be surprised by this — his whole election pitch was 'I solemnly swear to govern as an awful right wing bastard, because that's what Normal Britons want'

Well don't you see, if they don't do the conservatives policies then the conservatives won't vote for them and then they might not win and then the conservatives might win and then they'd probably do some horrible conservative policy.

If leftists don't vote for labour because they're not perfect then they're the reason they lose the election.
