With some GM'sGMs, and/or in some groups, working throughapproaching the indirect lineproblem indirectly may bework better to deal with problems like this. As you've stated in your question, the group has a habit of rotating GMs. And this is just and the timeproblem is only that the person GMing now is not what you're looking for. Maybe you should lookThis suggests looking for an indirect solution might be good.
Sit down as a group and define what the GM's role is
Take a break from the campaign, or wait till'til it is finished or something, and sit down as a group to define what the GM's role is and what the players' role is. It is extremely important to know, in order to have a hard definition of what one should do in the game. Both of those roles, players and GM alike, are far less defined than we would expect and it leads to many problems of authority allocationsallocation. Sit and talk about it. Is the GM's role in your games to be the only storyteller? Does it lean to a more equal-weight kind of storytelling, with the GMingGM having the ability to veto? Through this conversation, many of your problems will surface naturally, and all of you will leave with many things to think about. The thoughts that will run in your heads will lead you to better games, games that are far more suited to your likingstastes.
Suggest reading-material material
If you have a tendencypolicy of GM-rotation, bringing reading-material for the entire group, material like GMing articles or GMing books for the entire group won't seem that much as a critiquelike criticism. Present it as your latest finding and he will take it much more lightly. The reading material that you should present to the group should deal, at least to a certain degree, with the problems that arousedarise in the game.
Go together toAttend an improv seminar together
Improv is a really nice skill to improvedevelop, and it is useful to the entire group. It can help toyou roleplay the characters better, to think about ways to improve the story from both roles (GM's and players', respectively), and so much more. If you don't have an improveimprov class isn't offered near you, there are some online lectures and presentations all around the net. Articles are great also. I saw once a really nice presentation in TED Talk presentation that showed the difference between a story that is being told with "yes"s"yeses" and a story being told with "no"s"nos". It is amazing to see the difference.

But maybe you need to go through the other route, maybe because the indirect lineapproach failed you, or because you don't think it will work for one reason or the other. For that, we have the direct route.
Go to your GM and just speak with him about it. Whether it is before the session or after it, sit and talk with him. It is usually advisable to have the conversation after the session, as you can give examples from the session that just took place. Tell him about your problems, about why you have stopped enjoying the game, and suggest some solutions that might work. Then, together try to figure out a solution that will bring back the spark of the campaign.
Leave the game, the campaign, for a short while. While this person is behind the screen, don't come to the sessionsessions. Sooner or later, questions will be raised and a conversation will embarkensue. Then resolve as appropriate.
Maybe you will just have to compromise. Suggest this to your GM, and if he agrees, both of you willagree to compromise a little in order to have a better game. It will be a little bit harder at first, but if you will filldo your part he will havebe obliged to filldo his. The game will be far more enjoyable for you. After all, he is not necessarily a bad GM; he just has a different play style.
If you are not alone in this, maybe just switching the GMGMs, or even the entire game, is better for all. Present it nicely, and explain that it is not personal, but just that the time has come for this switch. If he asks, explain calmly why you are all for the switching.
