根据最后一段的说法, 叫"最大反对党"或"最大在野党"好像比较靠谱.
我的理解是除了governing party, 其他所有的政党都是反对党。而official opposition party 有一个在野的具有内阁架构的机构(government in waiting) (从VIKI的解释来看)所以被称为在野党,而其他的opposition party只能反对现政府。
中国跟西方的民主体系不同,对于official opposition party,没有官方翻译。翻成“在野党”,是按照台湾媒体的习惯翻译的。/ L( x. \, U$ m8 T3 N/ M# u, g

BTW, translation has nothing to do if you have something. There was the Chinese translation of "nuclear bomb" even before China built one.
