Seeing my sentence a question has arisen in me: opposition can be regarded a singular and a plural noun --is it correct if I shift in the same sentence?
(opposition is .... their)
(opposition is .... their)

If this is what you mean:
"the opposition are getting"
it isn't correct in my view
"the opposition are getting"
it isn't correct in my view

I know what you mean now. I think you can switch from singular to plural here, but perhaps it's not the most consistent thing to do.
Others might chime in.
