an increase of 55400 votes (C&R -17900)
assuming C&R got only 33% (18280 votes) of the new voters due to higher number of loyalist expats 66%
the decrease between 2005 and 2009 is actully not only 17900 but 36182
(17900+18280)
only political choice can make such a big number of voters almost 40,000 votes (~25%) switch sides.
