Why don't the Liberals focus on developing some good policies to try to get back into power?
I assume it's easier to make people hate the opposition than to actually do something that would make you worthy of my vote. I wonder if voters can do anything to change this?

That's business as usual for any party in opposition, though. Don't think for one second that the Conservatives did anything other than attack the Liberals prior to the 2006 election. It's just the nature of parliamentary politics; the party(ies) in opposition attack the ruling party. Indeed, that's the very role of being an opposition party. All parties at all levels of government do this.
That being said, I would like to see some more cooperation amongst the parties, especially since we have a minority government and all polls show that neither Harper nor Dion are capable of winning a majority, so we really ought to demand less attacking and more working together from our MPs on both sides of the aisle.
