Ignatieff has 'put absolutely nothing on the table' say Liberal insiders

The Liberals have criticized the Conservatives for their decisions in the past, even going so far as to continue a campaign for voting against them. But if the Conservatives are as bad as they say they are, why are they still getting votes? "He's put absolutely nothing on the table. It's just empty rhetoric." said a top Liberal who supported Ignatieff in both leadership campaigns. "If he goes into election with nothing substantive to put on the table, it's going to be a massacre."

I think that the Liberals definitely need to say something more about what they will do if they are elected, instead of continually criticizing the Conservatives. Even if the Conservatives are doing as bad a they sound, the Liberals haven't said they would be doing anything better than them. The public will not vote someone they know nothing about to lead them. The continuance of a campaign against the Conservatives, even teamed with NDP and Bloc Quebecois, would be useless without something to give to the people other than telling them what they already know.
