That’s pretty much how parliamentary democracy works, yeah. Aside from some work in committees, MPs outside the governing party don’t hold the reins of power. So their role is to criticize. Even backbenchers in the governing party have very little power in our system. The PMO and cabinet ministers are about the only ones in government who can actually get stuff done.
Again, the Conservatives aren’t behaving any differently from how other parties behave in opposition.
