Cable: We can regain power

LIB Dem leader Sir Vince Cable has backed himself and his party to return to power despite them only having 12 MPs.

He said he is aiming for the Lib Dems to have an “absolutely central role in British politics”.

Asked if he could once again become a senior Cabinet minister, he replied: “It’s plausible.”

He was Business Secretary in the Lib Dem/Tory coalition government that was formed in 2010 when his party had 57 MPs.
