THE ROLE OF OPPOSITION PARTIES IN A NATION

Image
Every democracy, across the world, has a ruling political party. They also have political parties who presented canditates in the federal, state and/or local elections but failed. In the UK, the opposition party, forms a shadow cabinet, aimed at playing a positive role for the benefit of the United Kingdom. Generally, the opposition has some significant roles to play but such roles must be played in such a manner, that the overall interests of the people, are well protected. Here are some: 1.

It will remain the big story into 2023, until of course something even more momentous replaces it, which in a post-Covid world doesn’t seem like such a farfetched prospect any longer. Let me make it clear that the list below is by no means a complete one, which means that I will be updating it regularly. So it’s best to keep checking back, if you’re interested in the list (why would you be here anyway, if you’re not interested :) So, here we go: Infrastructure, Investment and Economic Diversification: It was a year of completion, in many regards. Important infrastructure projects, like the Lekki Deep Sea Port (the  deepest  Deep-Sea Port in Nigeria, and a
