Leader of the Georgeland Opposition

The Leader of the Opposition, formally Leader of the Official Opposition is the title of the leader of the largest party in the Georgeland parliament that does not form part of the government. For most of the time since 1970, this has been the Conservative Party of Georgeland. The Leader of the Opposition is not a constitutionally mandated office, and the person holding the job has no official duties. By convention, his or her job is to provide leadership for his party and present them as a 'credible alternative' to the government. The Opposition Leader is his or her their party's prime ministerial candidate during an election campaign. The present Leader of the Opposition is The Hon. Luke Macaulay, MP, who serves in an interim capacity following the death of Sam Richardson on April 15, 2005.
