Shadow government
The term shadow government has two distinct uses with entirely different meanings. One refers to a government-in-waiting composed of members of the opposition party in a parliamentary chamber. In its other use the phrase refers to what is sometimes called "the secret government" or "the invisible government": real and actual political power does not reside with publicly elected representatives but with persons unknown to the general public who are exercising power behind the scenes.
