EU referendum
Oliver and his father David campaigned on opposite sides of the EU referendum. Oliver stated that concern about the Common Agricultural Policy and his belief Scotland did not receive a good deal in this area were one reason he would vote Leave. His father David however campaigned for Remain and insisted Oliver was entitled to his own view and the disagreement on this one issue would not affect their relationship.
