Not surprising. It is exactly what will happen in the US. Those segments of the immigrant population that buy into the work ethic will vote increasingly conservative, while those who do not, won’t. It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity and everything to do with personal philosophy.

I guess the socialists in UK must be running out of other people’s money!

As it happened also in previously communist/socialist countries.
(East Germany & other former Soviet satellite countries). Russia has a flat tax! China has one million new millionaires. India just elected a pro-business leader.

Major BS alert. It has everything to do with race and ethnicity in the US, including immigrants. Obama got 93% of the black vote, 73% of the Asian vote, and 71% of the Hispanic vote. Although not a race or ethnicity, he received 69% of the Jewish vote in 2012 and 78% in 2008. Romney got 59% of the non-Hispanic white vote.

As the demography of the US changes with non-Hisapnic whites being less than 50% by 2043, the Dems will become the permanent majority party. Demography is destiny.

The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

"Those segments of the immigrant population that buy into the work ethic will vote increasingly conservative"

I work with lots of Asians who are quite conservative in their personal lives, but vote Democrat or are not politically active at all.

They seem to be of two minds. In their personal lives they believe that the choices they make will impact their lives in a significant way so they tend to do the right things in terms of working hard, saving money, bringing up their kids right, etc.

However, they seem to have a more fatalistic view with regard to the larger world. It's a more "whatever" type of view where they believe they can have no impact. So they either don't get involved, or they merely exercise their public responsibility of voting. And they usually seem to vote Democrat (except anti-communist Vietnamese) either because they believe the Republican Party is for Whites only or they have some sort of belief similar to liberal Jews who believe that a vote for the Democrats is a vote for support of the less fortunate.
