ROGER Woods (Letters, August 2) reminds us that Sir John Major said in February 'only 37 per cent of the electorate voted to leave the EU. Sixty three per cent voted either in favour of remaining or did not vote at all'.

Or to put it another way, only 35 per cent of the electorate voted to remain in the EU. Sixty five per cent voted either in favour of leaving or did not vote at all.
