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.
