I think it was mentioned that these two systems were mutually incompatible in 2016. BTW, I am not sure that the technique of "heaping shame on anyone who tries to weasel-word" is that effective.

You should take a leaf of Femi's book: he turns up, talks to Leave supporters and tries to engage in courteous and rational debate.
