Meh, it's politics as usual. Your attempt to spin this like the Liberals are somehow abandoning their constituents shows a lack of knowledge of Canadian government history -- and recent history at that!

As Kerplunk noted, Harper's Conservatives also abstained en masse instead of voting against Paul Martin's budget and triggering an election in 2005. Where was the huge outcry then from the CPC supporters around these parts that they weren't getting any say in how their federal tax dollars were being spent because their MPs didn't vote against the budget that year?
