I didn't say the majority from the Commonwealth voted to stay in and I'm not sure this figure is known. I said "I can imagine Irish nationals would vote Remain. Many Commonwealth nationals voted leave as they felt that if immigration was reduced from the EU, it would increase from Commonwealth countries."
