Role of the opposition.

The role of the Leader of the Opposition

MMP makes a difference 
Government and Opposition cooperate 
Issues help alternative government formation

The Opposition’s main role is to question the government of the day and hold them accountable to the public.

National Party leader Dr Don Brash says the Opposition represents an alternative government, and is responsible for challenging the policies of the government and producing different policies where appropriate.

As Leader of the Opposition, Dr Brash is responsible for representing the Opposition at state functions, meetings with dignitaries and other important events.

Attitudes to the role of the Leader of the Opposition should be taken into account by people who wish to anticipate what the Oppostion might do. There may just be shades of meaning, as readers may see when thinking about the views on the role by Dr Brash, and the man he defeated for the role, Bill English. Under the Mixed Member Proportional - MMP - system, other opposition parties own attitudes can influence outcomes - watch that space. The way opposition parties work together can influence the outcomes - if they succeed in working together and in building the "political numbers" they increase their chances of toppling the government.
