The Leader of the Official Opposition (commonly known as the Leader of the Opposition or colloquially the Opposition Leader) is the politician who leads the Official Opposition in Enderron. The position is conventionally held by the leader of the largest party not within the government.
The current Leader of the Opposition is Macey Novakova of the Liberal Party, since 29 July 2019.
Twenty leaders of the opposition have later become premier or prime minister, although two – Thomas Southcott and W. A. Watford – had already served an earlier term as premier (both served non-consecutive terms in office).
