FIRST-time buyers across Britain are hoping the government can see its way clear to stumping up for a motor as well.
 'Oh, what's this big space in front of the house?'
Wayne Hayes, a sales executive from Lincoln, said: "What's the point of buying me a nice, new house with a garage and then not buying me a car? Are you trying to hurt me?"
He added: "Go on, get us a car. All my mates have got cars. I'll vote for you. Promise."
The Society of Motor Manufacturers has also urged the government to buy lots of cars, particularly 4x4s and large petrol estates.
A spokesman said: "If you're buying people stuff then yeah, a car would be good. It'll totally reinvigorate the car market and all that.
"And there'll be a knock-on effect 'cause everybody will go to Halfords for screenwash. Go oooon."
Meanwhile a spokesman for the House Builders Federation said: "So what you're saying is, we can build as many of these shitty little houses as we want and the government will buy them?
"Cool!"
