Democracy is the government of people, by the people and for the people. It is the most common form of the government in this world. In democracy, the opposition has a great role to play. In a parliamentary system of government the party or the group parties commanding majority forms the government and remains in power as long as it enjoys the confidence of popularly-elected houses. Regarding seating arrangement, the house is divided into two wings. On the right-hand side of the speaker the ruling party or the parties are allotted seats and in parliamentary terminology theses are called as treasury benches. While on the left-hand side of the speaker, the Opposition party members or parties are allotted seats.
The Opposition parties play a very significant role in a democracy as representatives of the people who have returned them to the House to safeguard their interests. With this view, they criticize government in case the later ignores them or conceal facts and they resort to protestation in the House and at the public level. It counts very much for awareness among the people over the specific issues of national importance and raises levels of political consciousness among them. However, sometime, just for the sake of opposition the opposition even criticizes the right policy of the government. This proves very harmful for the democracy.
The opposition act as watch dog’ of a the system. In such countries where there is a two-party system in vogue, the Opposition party forms a ‘shadow cabinet’ to exercise vigil over the performance of the government. This is truer in case of United Kingdom. Two-Party system is also in vogue in United States of America. Since there is no parliamentary system of government, the Opposition party in the House of Representatives of the US Congress (the lower House of the Parliament) forms as many committees as the ruling party does and present their views over the policies and performance of the US administration in National Affairs before the official committees. Joint committees are also formed on important subjects or issues.
