    Don’t they have a whole “shadow cabinet” over there just for the opposition party to say what they’d totally be doing if they were in power?

      The common line is that the shadow cabinet are just saying all the stuff and announcing far-right policies to appeal to the voter base. Once they get in power, THEN they’ll be real leftists, they proooomise

        Is THAT what a shadow cabinet does? Maaaaaan, I thought they were some cool dark council with robes and hoods that practiced black magic and plotted to install a dark lord. This just sounds like if reddit losers were given a megaphone.
