These Liberals are more concerned with getting elected than running off principles of the party, and they're losing a heck of a lot of votes along the way.

Dion was told by his members he couldn't win an election as his party is in near shambles. He had no choice but to get a number of his elected members to abstain from voting. It's a political move to save face.
The Liberals played this game of chicken with the Harper govt hoping they would cave in to some of their demands. Harper called his bluff and dared the Liberals to force an election.
