Yes, the motion is not wildly popular, but if the motion only requires a simple majority to pass, then being wildly popular is not a requirement, so it doesn't matter. Yes, the people in the minority are also "the bosses", but democracy is majority rule, and the majority has ruled. No pretending is required.
