It's Conservative policy to not have a solid platform, precisely so that they can't get called out on it by critics. You can't criticize their platform if they keep a deliberate haze over it, leaving it open to interpretation and to be amorphous enough that it can be molded with vague platitudes into whatever they need it to be. It's all quite deliberate.
The party's convention is so that leadership can pay lip service to the various factions within the base: nothing more. It "gave the grassroots members of the party a chance to have their voice heard at the national level," they'll say.
