I had to look up
Shadow Chancellor in Wiki. In the US, the term 'shadow' applied to government would have conspiratorial overtones. Looking at the concept, it sound interesting. The minority party has a single spokesman on economic policy to critique the way the majority is handling the financial system.
That might have been useful over here in the US at some point in the past 10 years, although we've had plenty of ignored warnings from our
GAO about debts and deficits, and they're a part of the government. They're like the Carbon Monoxide alarm that someone unplugs because it keeps making noise and they can't afford to fix the furnace.
