There are two types of opposition parties in the House of Commons: Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition (sometimes referred to simply as the Official Opposition), and third opposition parties. The Official Opposition is thought of as a "Government-in-waiting", providing an alternative government to take over should the existing Government resign or be dismissed, with the Leader of the Official Opposition being an alternative prime minister.Third opposition parties are also responsible for holding the Government accountable, but are generally not thought of as a viable alternative government, and rarely have as much pre-eminence in Parliament as do the Official Opposition. (For example, the Official Opposition receives more time during question period than do the third opposition parties.)
In Canada, the parties that are not in power are referred to as "opposition parties." The primary opposition party is known as the "Official Opposition," which is typically the party with the second-largest number of seats in the House of Commons. Other smaller parties that are not in government also contribute to the opposition, collectively holding the government accountable and providing alternative policies.
No. Prime Ministers are in government (the head of the executive branch) and leaders of their political party in the legislature, while Opposition leaders are simply the leaders of their political party in the legislature,
