Also he wouldn't have been able to contain his party and any spilt would have been far worse. I think the difference between Cameron and Corbyn is that Cameron has proved himself to the extent that no one can really call into question his authority within the party. He has largely kept infighting to a minimum, managed to impose the whip where needed, and has only called for a free vote on issues of long-standing disagreement within the party such as gay marriage and Europe.

Corbyn finds his party in a permanent state of dissent and has been bounced into free votes though lack of authority. The Conservative party, even with the spilt, is largely behind Cameron. Most of the PLP hate Corbyn.
