Not every bit of legislation that the party in power puts to the house is done the ‘right’ way so quite rightly the opposition oppose it. But what happens when something has been thought through thoroughly and is presented for debate? The opposition parties oppose it because they are in opposition.

The opposition don't need to oppose it. Take the education bill which the Conservatives helped get through. If a bill is 'right' and the opposition still vote against it, the majority government can get the bill through. It is democratic, it's not as democratic as it could be, but then I'd rather have this over proportional representation. At least this method provides strong stable government.
