As to my perception the criticism is less about politicians being lazy.
It is more about the perception of the proper mix between the necessary (accdg. to Max Weber) fight for power and the actual act of governing, i.e. getting stuff done for people.
The getting stuff done part is much less visible rhan the fight for power part. Actually, these days the impression takes hold, that the fight for power is pursued even at the expense of the possibility to get things done. Gettings things done in a democracy our style needs compromise. The current trend to deligitimize and even to demonize the opposing party is not conducive to reaching joint solutions.
