Couple of threads over at the Other Place about a Conservative victory in 1964 and an alternate British Motor Corporation (BMC) got me wondering but were there ever any calls for or proposals to nationalise the UK motor industry prior to it getting into trouble? Labour nationalised the steel industry in 1967, and the aircraft and shipbuilding industries in 1977, after these the motor industry seems like the only other major manufacturing industry. If, due to the Conservatives having won an extra five years, Labour were in charge for a full decade do people think they might have been tempted?
