May's position at least has the merit of being accurate. The result of the referendum was that, by majority, the U.K. voted to leave the EU.

Sturgeon's misrepresentation of the truth is that, first, Scotland didn't vote to leave (whereas Scotland wasn't even on the ballot paper - even in Scotland, we were asked whether the UK should leave, not whether Scotland should leave) and, second, there being a majority for remain within Scotland, she seeks to portray it as a block vote - which,of course, it wasn't; my vote, and more than a million others, contributed to the only total that matters, which is the one for the whole UK.
