People agreeing on lots of issues means that they can disagree on some.

In an ideal world I wouldn't want parties but I think Cyfr's point is probably right - even if there weren't official parties in the way that you're thinking Jambutty there would be a loose alignment of people which would start to expand. There would be bonding and wheeling and dealing to the point where they would be trying ot get people to vote for bills and would expect reciprocal voting for other bills.
