One major block to overcome in this scheme

Actual shadow cabinets in parliamentary systems have one chosen leader. In our system, the party out of power does not. It doesn't make things impossible, but it makes decisions harder - like who should fill what shadow cabinet positions, for one.

Edited to add: The maga EOs scribbled before 2024 were created with one pedophile's agenda in mind. And they weren't even really a shadow cabinet as much as a fan club.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
