One third is a small minority as political support goes.
Not really, especially considering it's a country with no free media.
A critical mass is needed for major political changes.
For a referendum that's 50%+1, but for organic political changes I've seen, like when my country legalised abortion or gay marriage or stopped The Troubles, you need a broad consensus.
It's hard to quantify a broad consensus, but it's certainly not 2 opponents to each proponent.
That's not true at all https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world
Ok, your BBC link has persuaded me to do a 180° on my opinion
