This lemma is stupid. "Opposition" is a general term that can be used in a number of ways for dozens of movements. The information in the article is mostly redundant with things in the April Tribunal and Citizens' Rights Union articles. -- SaganamiFan 18:24, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
- The point is an odd and subtle one. I have amended the article to reflect English language use, though it is so idiomatic I expect it not to sound better to non-English native speakers. SF is certainly correct that the word opposition has additional uses (as in sports, or competing newspaper staffs, or in warfare, or ...), but in a political context the use is rather stylized. Use of the definite article (the) modifies opposition to indicate that a particular opponent (or opposing group) is meant. Without the definite article, no particular opponent is meant, but rather any.
- The business of lemma is confusing. It's used in mathematics as a kind of junior or interim theorem. Thus, this lemma can be used to show that, and from both one can prove something else more important or striking. Here, it's a use of the term I'm unfamiliar with.

- I guess we could move the article to something like "Havenite opposition to the Legislaturalist Regime". "Opposition" itself could be a disambig page with a small description of the basic meaning of the term. -- SaganamiFan 19:48, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
- May be there is somewhere a quotation directly mirroring original content of the article (which would justify the sense of the article). --dotz 20:50, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
- On this Wiki, an article titled The Opposition would be sort of foolish as there are several nations which have an opposition. The article as it stands is ostensibly about the existence of oppositions in political systems with some examples. Pretty general for this wiki which is focused in a particular universe and only some parts of it besides. An article on political oppositions in that universe would have to have more information. What about The opposition on Beowulf, or on Old Earth, or Mannerheim, or Mesa (presumably all dead, but there's a history to the development of that policy, surely), the Andermani Empire, ... on none of which are we informed.
- Since I'm not involved in setting policy for this wiki, I don't think my views are very relevant on this point. Wikipedia ww 10:05, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
- It is not a matter of policy, just a chat. I can agree, that with vocabulary way of thinking the article can be assesed as sth silly. It should be sent to "essay" category in fact.
- Just for your reflection however - sometimes a political opposition is "institutionalised" , like HM Opposition, or unified/unidentyfied, like opposition it totalitary states (which is similiar to the People's Republic).--dotz 14:59, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
