I like these ideas but the Senate electing the shadow government wouldn't be very effective if the same party held power in the House and Senate. However, I do think that recognition of a Shadow Government is important, given that it has access to all the same information as the government.
They're the official shadow cabinet so that the opposition parties don't take credit for anything they aren't doing just because they have a guy who they swear would be doing a better job.
