LibDem commitment to home rule cannot be taken seriously

I cannot be the only person tired of reading earnest letters from supporters of the Liberal Democrats such as Allan C Steele boasting about the party's century-old commitment to Scottish home rule, albeit within a federal UK framework (Letters, November 7).

Surely the harsh political reality is that whenever there has seemed to be the remotest chance of achieving that otherwise admirable objective the LibDems have backed off from taking any decisive action that might conceivably bring it about.
