as in the oppostion in government?
wrong catogory?
however, the opposition of the government "keep the government in line"
they have a shadow member for each cabinet, eg shadow treasureuer, and each shadow minister whatches the real minister - his/her announcements, reports, actions, incase he does something in appropriate, and then reports this to the general public, often through the media.
example, the recent budget released in Australia had miscalculations, the shadow treasuerer found thses by reading the budget, then revealed it to the media to gain negative attention to the government.
in effect, this is done to discredit the public image of the government, so that next time voters are polled they might vote instead for the opposition, for fear that the current government are discieving them or plain incapeable of the job.

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.
