Yes.

A certain level of hypocrisy is necessary in any party-political system, and particularly necessary for governments of all stripes. Parties and especially governments oblige their members to be publicly loyal to party ideologies and leaders that they might not hold in high regard or have faith in. This hypocrisy is needed for the party to win and for the implementation of policies.
