The second part of my redaction

• First of all, to understand the role of the opposition in the legal English system, we can describe the way of thinking in GB: - Fair play: the winner respects the loser at the end of the elections; at the final result.

• - Representative logical isn’t the Rousseau’s theory, which is about to crush the minority.

• - There isn’t a real ideology break btw the 2 parties.

• For example it’s not like in France; in England we considered that the British values are the most important so there is a profound respect.

• It favored lot of things: there are no enemies.

• I) A real institutional existence - The opposition is recognized as formal element of the legal system: the chief of the opposition is known as the “Chief of the opposition of his Majesty”.

• Thanks to its recognition it has a protocol rank that is why it is a real part of the system.

• - It has real material means in order to exist & develop its action.

• Indeed, we can see that with the “Shadow Cabinet”: it’s the reproduction of the Ministerial Cabinet, the cabinet of the majority, which is created some days after the result of the election by the loser party: the leader of the minority party is going to name people (which represent the members of Parliament) like in the real cabinet.

• This structure evenly has meetings in order to do criticize analyses of the debates of the ministerial cabinet.

• We can see the “Shadow Cabinet” as an alternative team already established.

• - Particularity of the British system: organized in rectangle that is to say that we have the ministerial cabinet in front of the opposition: - “The question time” and “The opposition days”: examples of parliamentary sessions in which the opposition has the right to express itself.
