The Liberal Party of Canada killed itself.
The arrogance of the Liberal Party and assumption of its right to be in power disillusioned many of their supporters. Multiple government scandals and lack of government transparency eroded the public's trust in the Liberal Party. The perceived corruption and control of the party by donating corporate interests lost them support.
After Chretien, the Liberal's choices of leaders did not unite the party. Martin, Dion, Ignatieff and Rae were unable to charm both their party and voters alike.
Further, like the US, politics became more polarized. Any action the Liberals took was criticized by either the right or the left or both. The media created a bandwagon effect, splitting many traditionally Liberal votes either left to the NDP or right to the Conservatives. The increased publicizing of strategic voting in effect increased strategic voting.
