Imagine you and your best friend agree to split a big pizza, but when it comes time to cut it, you both want the biggest slice. Politicians are like that: they all agree on paper, but when it’s time to actually do things, they start fighting over small details.
Examples
- Two politicians shake hands on a big deal, but later they argue about how much money should be spent on roads.
- Two friends in the same party make an agreement behind closed doors, but then one goes back on it to get more power.
