The democrats themselves are not united either. In the past democrats did not use to agree as it use to be Southern socially religious democrats vs all other democrats.
However, currently there is a big split between the more rural democrats and the big city very liberal democrats. We saw this in the first 2 years of Obama term, where Obama tried to pass more liberal ideas that many of this board would like to see but could not even get his party to support him fully.
Such things make us confused in Canada, because the idea of a representative of the same party as the leader openly voting against the leader would likely cause the Rep to get kicked out of his party.
