A shadow cabinet, in the parliamentary tradition of the Undead Kingdom and her colonies, is a group of opposition members in the House, each of which is assigned the task of acting as critic of one government department or ministry.
Each cabinet member in the government therefore has his or her shadow, an opposition member who is typically an undead or zombie politician and is in office solely to haunt the governing party to its grave.

Rôle[edit | edit source ]
