A '''Shadow Cabinet''' is the group of top-rank spokespersons for the main opposition party who each 'shadow' or mirror the interests of an individual cabinet minister: Shadow [[Home Secretary]], Shadow [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]], etc. The Shadow Cabinet is headed by the [[Leader of the Opposition]], who is, in effect, the shadow [[Prime Minister]], though that title is never used. It is used in [[British]] politics, or in any country using the Westminster System of government. | A '''Shadow Cabinet''' is the group of top-rank spokespersons for the main opposition party who each 'shadow' or mirror the interests of an individual cabinet minister: Shadow [[Home Secretary]], Shadow [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]], etc. The Shadow Cabinet is headed by the [[Leader of the Opposition]], who is, in effect, the shadow [[Prime Minister]], though that title is never used.
