Loyal opposition
Loyal opposition is the concept that one can be opposed to the actions of the government or ruling party of the day without being opposed to the constitution of the political system.In the United Kingdom and many other Commonwealth countries the leader of the party possessing the largest number of seats in Parliament whilst not forming part of the government is termed "The Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition". Their constitutional function is to scrutinise government legislation and actions. Whilst frequently opposing Her Majesty's Government at every turn, the leader of the opposition is not opposed to Her Majesty's right to the throne.
