OPPOSITION--MEANS "OPPOSED TO"--AND THAT"S WRONG???

The English Parliament has what they call, The Loyal Opposition.  In the United States we have always had the Opposition Party, that is the Party of the minority.  The two, essentially, have the same task to do.  That is to point out, on the floor of Congress or Parliament the hazards of proposed legislation.  In other words, to offer an alternate proposal.  Seems sensible.
But, in the world of politics  today, it seems almost to be unreasonable to be opposed to ANY piece of legislation put forward by the party in power.  How did we come to this?...Medicineman!
