Official Opposition (UK)


 

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.
