Abstract
This research was conducted to discover the dominant phenomenon experienced by the representatives of the eras by using the qualitative research method and the phenomenological approach with the participation of fifteen representatives. The sampling method was purposeful. To collect data, a semi-structured interview was used. Data analysis using Dickelman's interpretation method finally led to the identification of eight main themes including; Non-transparency, the inefficiency of the electoral system of representation, insufficient competence of the representatives in reviewing the budget, hopelessness of the representatives in providing national interests, partiality of the representatives, an unequal marathon of share-seeking From the public budget, there was arbitrary interference in the budget figures and the lack of indicators in the budget allocation. In this way, by continuous and comparative review of the text of the interviews, primary codes, and secondary and main themes, "conflict of interest" was identified as the main theme of the participants' experiences. Although the emergence of "conflict of interest" in the legislature as a symbol of pluralism is inevitable, nevertheless, it has consequences such as the sacrifice of national interests, the deviation of representatives. In securing local interests, it has also caused unequal and unbalanced distribution and allocation of budgets.
