The status of "Official Opposition" is determined by which party wins the second most seats in the House of Commons in a general election. You can see how many seats each party holds in the House of Commons here: https://members.parliament.uk/parties/commons If any doubt arises regarding which party has the second most seats in the House, and therefore should be granted "Official Opposition" status, this is decided by the Speaker of the House of Commons.
