Also, while in equillibrium the national partisan strength will remain roughly 50/50 in EQ, it seems likely that trend this may push the median voter, and thus the parties, rightward.
As usual, very interesting. There was an strikingly similar situation in South Africa when I was growing up and the (basically Afrikaans-speaking) Nationalist party which supported apartheid had a far higher birth rate that the (mostly English-speaking) United Party., which did not. We all saw how that turned out.
