Self-study
After the United Nations Security Council authorized military intervention by a coalition of armed forces intended to halt civil strife in a certain country, the parliament of one UN member nation passed a resolution condemning its own prime minister for promising to commit military personnel to the action. █ █████████████ ██████ ████████ ████ ███ ████████████ ████ ███ ███ ██████████ ███ ███ █████ ███ ████████████ ██████████ ██ ███ ███████████ █████████████ ██ ███ █████████ ████ ███████ ██ ██████████ █████████ ███ ██ █████
"Surprising" Phenomenon
Why did parliament vote to condemn the prime minister for promising aid to a plan most members of that parliament supported?
Objective
A hypothesis resolving this discrepancy must identify a reason for parliament to condemn its prime minister that does not rely on disagreement over the need for an intervention. Parliament must take issue with some aspect of the prime minister’s actions other than his support for the UN plan.
