I am pretty sure that I said "In simple terms it means that of those who could vote, 38% voted to leave" and then backed that up with "38% of the voting population voted to leave". I did, in a moment of laziness, say "a mathematical as opposed to mythical 38% of the population voted to leave" and I apologise for any missing out the word 'voting'. I thought that seeing as I had specified 'voting population' (aka electorate) twice people may have realised that is what I meant. I was obviously wrong. Still, as misleading statements go I suppose it does not have a patch on making people believe that article 50 would be triggered the next day, money put into the EU would be spent on the health service or immigration would be curtailed.
