Is it significant that you've split the Liberal Democrats for this? Are they more united on other issues than the other parties (one thinks of Europe), or have they managed to be more heterogeneous than the Conservatives or Labour?
It could be a not being in power thing - it's easy to ignore your differences if you only have to criticise policy, but might suggest problems when in power, especially if their voter base is equally heterogeneous.
