I see your point, but that's a political calculation that any splinter group makes. Perhaps they are thinking ahead to being the small group that swings a lot of big decisions between the two big boys.
Also, I'm not really sure, but I think in the UK they sometimes enter into local non-contesting pacts, so as not to split the support of a party they sympathize with. (Please don't google me on that!)
