If they were anticipating foreign students then they may well not be registered to vote! But certainly high student populations can even impact Parliamentary elections, let alone local ones. Wouldn't they be voting in one of the (very) few Southwark wards which have returned non-Labour councilors in the past? Hey ho. Democracy is so last century anyway - as they're finding in the former bastion of the free world. And in our local 'consultation' processes.
