Shadow cabinet

Although not being an official institution, it's a political convention that the biggest opposition party establish a shadow cabinet formed by party spokespersons that cover certain government areas, with the first party to do so being the URN during its wilderness years. Over time, third parties also started to form their cabinets, becoming a common practice since then.
