Shadow Cabinet
The Official Opposition (the non-government party with the largest number of elected members of Parliament — currently the Labour Party) is headed by the Shadow Cabinet and is supported by numerous junior opposition frontbenchers.
The Liberal Democrats, as the only other party with a large number of seats, used to call their leadership while in opposition the Liberal Democrat Frontbench Team, but during the last Labour government, they started to use the term 'Shadow Cabinet'.
