Shadow Cabinet

A shadow cabinet is a group of politicians from the opposition party who mirror the roles of government ministers. Each member focuses on scrutinizing and challenging the work of a specific government department, offering alternative policies and holding those in power accountable. This setup helps ensure parliamentary oversight and provides the public with clear ideas about different policy options. Essentially, the shadow cabinet functions as a parallel team to the government, preparing to take on ministerial roles if their party wins the next election.
