I am sure the ammount of money spent on buying gov cars is HUGE. when rover had problems i then thought it would have been ideal for the public to buy it in order to create (or rather keep) jobs and produce police cars, ambulances, gov company cars etc etc and provide a low priced affordable car to the public.
why pay GM or other companies tons of money when they could produce the same at cost!?
it would also produce cars for motobillity saving that social cost at the same time!
i feel tax money is being wasted left right and center by the gov by paying private firms to do things the gov could control themselves
