The market is shifting these days for all manner of reasons such that I

I'd add "taking five years to GCSE" onto that as well.

It's two - or are you including every year from the start of
secondary?

But remember that my original calculation required *at least one*
of the three 'delay factors' for a student to be 21 in their final
year, and according to Colin, to qualify to vote your birthday
would have to be before October, so even then most students
wouldn't be eligible.

Ah - were students going off to uni at a younger age then? The
standard entry these days is 18 or higher.

Some were, especially a few mathematicians. Child protection issues have
largely stopped unis from accepting under-18s.
