The Liberal Party in Canada often has this problem, for the same reason. Their party goal is to represent what the people want. if what the people want is different from 4 years ago, their platform is different.
But... well... if the party is actually "liberal", that means their beliefs and platforms should be changing, according to public desire, new data, experience, and new goals. Being ossified and intransigent is not "liberal". So, arguably, the Canadian liberal party is doing it right, by being flexible.

I agree - However changing your platform even in subtle ways can be bad for a political party because you get spun into being someone who "Waffles".
