Liberal democracy's actual function is to convert the will of the people into a functioning government.

If it was actually true that 80% of the population opposed this law, MPs would be falling over themselves to run against it and it would be gone immediately after the next election cycle.

I think it's a dumb law, but I also don't think the UK's democracy is that broken. It's pretty clear a majority of UK voters support or are at least ok with this law.

Why do you think it's clear a majority of UK voters support this?

>>cmeach+(OP)
I think it is not that they are OK with it, the majority probably does not care, or has no clue of its implications.
