Why would the majority want something "bad" to happen? And "bad" according to who? Obviously not "enough" in that case. If the opposit happens, and something is enforced which the majority doesn't approve, why should it be enforced anyway? Because a smaller part of a society thinks so?
In my opinion and understanding, in a democracy, the law is there to enforce the will of the majority of the population. In other words "the will of the people". If people think it's a bad law, it should be changed, whether it's good or bad for them. After all, it is their law and their country; not a place for foreigners to decide what goes on and what doesn't (to an extent).
