SIR – Vince Cable told Liberal Democrats at their 2012 conference to prepare for a decade in power (T&A, September 25).
David Steel told Liberals at their annual assembly in 1981 to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government. They won only 23 seats.
Deja vu all over again come 2015? Hope so.
