What Is a shadow cabinet
A shadow cabinet is a team from the opposition party that mirrors the ruling party’s cabinet members. The shadow cabinet has a point person for every cabinet position to challenge their counterpart in the ruling Cabinet.
Nickel said it’s been done for a century in the UK. Canada also has a shadow cabinet in place.
