A party does not "represent" Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Rather, a party is Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition by virtue of being the political party with the most seats in opposition. It is theoretically possible (but unlikely) for the third place party to form the opposition if the two larger parties should form a coalition government.Currently, the New Democratic Party is the Official Opposition in Canada's House of Commons.
Robert Muldoon was the leader of the National Party (New Zealand).

Stephen Harper the Prime Minister of Canada and is a member of the Conservative Party. The Conservative Party is not the opposition, it is the government.The phrase "Opposition party" can mean two things. First, it can mean any party in parliament other than the Prime Minister's party. That is, any party that opposes the Prime Minister.Second, it can mean the largest of those opposition parties. If you are talking about only the largest opposition party, you can say "the Official Opposition".Right now, there are three opposition parties. The Official Opposition (the largest opposition party) is the Liberal Party of Canada. The other two are the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party.
In Canada, Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition (popularly known as the Official Opposition) is simply the political party which holds the most seats in the House of Commons (or a provincial assembly) next to the dominant party. Usually it is the second-largest party. The Official Opposition may be either a narrowly defined party or a coalition. Currently, the New Democratic Party of Canada forms the official opposition in Canada, for the first time in its history. It has held this status since 2011, when it won a party record 103 seats in the House of Commons - second to the Conservative Party's 166 seats.
