Maybe its just me, but I can't really tell what this sentence means?

The Liberals said they were in favour though, and the reason its a huge win is because this won't dog them next election. Otherwise we all know that there are things in the omnibus bill that are there purely to aggravate the opposition so they will vote against the bill. If the pensions were part of the bill then next campaign we would hear "we [the CPC] couldn't get these guys to come around and vote for MP pension reform, even though it was the fiscally conservative thing to do".
