The Shadow Cabinet: A Critical Study

Abstract

When a single party with an overwhelming majority forms the government, then the government will have the say. Several bills will be passed and have been passed in past in such cases without much debate. In such cases it seems as if there is no party that is the opposition to check, censor and criticize the activities of the government. Private members if any in the parliament are rarely informed about the governmental strategy. In such cases the government will have undisputed authority. It is in this scenario that some of the countries have proposed a solution to this problem; the Shadow Cabinet.
