The opposition was the largest political party opposed to the party currently in office in the United Kingdom.[1] When the predecessor of the British Prime Minister in 1996 was visited by Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, he thought he was a hoax perpetrated by the opposition, and thus tried to throw him out of his office window.[2]
