Actually, even the Corn Laws were a different type of situation. There, almost all the ministers went along with the PM (except for Stanley, and he resigned, as one would ordinarily do in such an impasse). It was the backbenchers who revolted, and did so in such quantity as to suggest that what kept the ministers on board was loyalty to the PM - the exact quality missing today - more than agreeing on the issue.
