The statement "So more like 50% more than double" is not just confusing—it's downright nonsensical. Let's break this down, shall we? The US population is 360 million, and the combined UK + EU population is 550 million. Doubling 360 million gives you 720 million, which is already way more than 550 million. So, saying "50% more than double" would mean adding another 50% to 720 million, which would give you a whopping 1,080 million. Clearly, 550 million is nowhere near 1,080 million, and it's not even double the US population, let alone 50% more than double. A more accurate (and less misleading) way to phrase this would be to say that the UK + EU population is about 1.5 times the US population or 50% larger than the US population. Hopefully, that clears things up.
