My understanding is that the parliamentary authorities have the final word on this matter.

In 1999, when Wee Charlie Kennedy took over, they made a great big song and dance about using 'shadow' titles, and were doing so quite inappropriately.

But as of 2002, the parliamentary authorities switched tack, and started to allow them to use 'Lib Dem shadow cabinet', 'Lib Dem shadow home secretary' titles, etc.

So while it would be inappropriate for them to claim to be THE 'shadow' cabinet, it is in all fairness quite reasonable for them to be the 'Liberal Democrat shadow cabinet' since it's a fairly accurate job description of them shadwoing the cabinet from their point of view.

And frankly, if they can be bothered with that mouthful, they're welcome to the title!
