I think you give people too much credit if you think ignoring a non-confidence vote would be the end of the Liberal party...

I dunno. Perhaps you are just jaded and cynical because you don't understand why people still support the Liberals currently? Not everyone believes that the entire Liberal party is full of crooks. You and a lot of Conservative supporters do, and certainly some people who previously supported the Liberals do. But it's not the only conclusion that you can come to from the scandal, especially since the vast majority of the people implicated thus far are no longer in the party. You are judging an entire party on the deeds of a few, not everyone will take the same approach.
But if a party completely ignores the conventions it does suggets that they are all untrustworthy. You couldn't write it off as a few bad apples. Therefore the two situations are not similar.
