But people running businesses in London, and their employees, have a
vested interest in tourists not being treated badly and failing to
return (or even come in the first place if they've heard bad reports).

Most businesses in London are places like Robert's Greengrocer, on
Bristock Road, CR7. I really doubt that Robert or his minion give a ****
about tourists.

As far as I could see on Wednesday, pretty much every shop in Oxford
Street depends on tourists.

But do the voters care about Oxford Street ?

As a shopper I care a lot more about Charing Cross Road

And do Oxford Street staff vote in GL ?

All of this depends on how much they look into the issue. If shops go
out of business, it will affect their suppliers (of various goods and
services). All the voters in London have to be working *somewhere*, and
it's not just in Canary Wharf.
