The figure I stated was the best possible case for Anglophone who voted conservatives - assuming all immigrants voted in the same proportion as native Anglophones.

In fact the rtuth could well be even more against you - less than a majority of immigrants bother to vote and this is the norm across all Western countries. Dad has a good friend in Markham who halped organize a Chinese Liberal MLA candidate win an election in 2003 (I should stress I disagree with his politics but it ia anotehr matter). At that time it was only after a struggle that 40% of Chinese bothered to vote. If we assume fewer immigrants in proportion voted and more than a majority of native Anglophones voted - this works here in NZ - then it is obviously much more than 36% of Anglophones voted the Left. The answer could well be like 45% to 31.5%, we don't know.

Sorry, it looks like the facts seem to stack more against you.
