Countries without parliaments to my knowledge don't have shadow governments as such. Who would decide who would be each shadow minister in this system?

The congressional caucus leadership. Schumer and Jeffries could work it out. Could bring the DNC chair into it too. Unlike in a parliamentary system the goal would not explicitly be for them to be the cabinet-in-waiting, so a lot (but not all) of the ego trading could be skipped.
The point would be more media focused so get some people who are good in front of a camera but with relevant policy knowledge. If we do this, don't pick the people with the most seniority on the relevant committees. Pick people that can speak effectively and stay on message when shoved in front of a camera тАФ and without them being so boring you could bottle their speeches up as a cure for insomnia.
Yeah. Dont these parliaments also pick their own members to be in charge of the departments/ministries? Really easy to have a shadow government when itтАЩs always politicians who are basically just doing their job.
