No, you have to consider the non-genetic, environmental factors that also influence the development of political ideology, specifically the households in which children are raised and the schooling and media to which they're exposed, all of which will increasingly become conservative.

That does not explain how mathematically your statement of 40%-60% heritability represents anything other than a coin flip.
