The Official Opposition (more formally, Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition) in the United Kingdom is usually the largest political party or coalition which is not a member of the government. This is usually the second-largest party in a legislative house, although in certain unusual circumstances it may be a third or fourth party.
The current official opposition is the Conservative Party.
