Explanation
In a parliamentary system the term Opposition refers to all members of parliament who do not belong to the parties forming the government. Their role is to scrutinize and challenge government policy, offering alternative proposals. They are therefore distinct from both the governing coalition and the largest single faction if that faction is part of the government.
