Talk:Opposition (Montenegro)

Factual inaccuracy
Andrija Mandić is not even the leader of the Democratic Front, let alone the opposition. He is a leader of one of its member parties, New Serb Democracy, which has the same number of MPs as the Democrats (hence we could say that Aleksa Bečić is the joint leader of the opposition). Besides that, Mandić has little to no influence in the rest of the opposition parties (notably Democrats, URA, SDP). Therefore, I think that his designation as the leader of the opposition is nowhere near the truth. Sideshow Bob 07:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Incorrectly
Being a leader of the opposition does not depend on the influence to the rest of the opposition parties, it is just a title given to the leader of the largest political subject elected at the parliamentary election, nothing more. Andrija Mandić is the current leader of the Democratic Front parliamentary group and de facto leader of DF after Miodrag Lekić abandonment Democratic Front in March 2015.

Democratic Front does not have a single leader, its member parties do. Therefore, Mandić has the same right to this "title" as Bečić, or even less so, since he did not run independently in the election. Sideshow Bob 07:01, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Again, leader of the opposition is just a title given to the leader of the largest political subject elected at the parliamentary election, nothing more. MneEdit 08:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Given by whom? Please read up a little bit on WP:OR. There is no room for subjectivity here. Also take note of WP:OWN. Sideshow Bob 08:59, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

In world democracies, leader of opposition is an unofficial position of largest political subject leader in the parliament, ok? DF are largest opposition group in Montenegrin parliament. And please explain where you see subjectivity here? MneEdit 09:17 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Subjectivity is declaring Mandić to be the leader of DF, which he is not. As you probably know, DF is lead by the "presidency", a collective body. "De facto leader" is a subjective construction, since it is not based on real evidence. Simple as that. Also, DF is a coalition, not a party. Therefore, he cannot be the leader of the opposition.

Leader of the Opposition
It's a little unusual that the position of opposition leader has been just 'vacant' for more than 3 years. What do you think about place Aleksa Bečić to 'leaders of opposition' list, as president of the party that independently won the most seats from the entire opposition at 2016 election? 21:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
