Official Opposition (UK)
From Free net encyclopedia
The Official Opposition (more formally, Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition) in the United Kingdom is usually the largest political party or coalition which is not a member of the government ("government", in this context, means the ministers of the executive and their supporters, rather than the whole apparatus of the state). This is usually the second-largest party in a legislative house, although in certain unusual circumstances it may be a third or fourth party.
The current official opposition is the Conservative Party.
