Election Outcome Hopes

Here's how I want the election to play out:

State Politics

• A win for Pakatan Rakyat in the Penang State Legislative Assembly, with PKR and PAS winning a few seats currently held by UMNO. A loss of one or two seats by DAP to Gerakan to keep a rational opposition voice going and give Gerakan hope of reviving what was once the most philosophically sound party in the nation.
• A win for Pakatan Rakyat in the Perak State Legislative Assembly, with an increased majority over the previous election. DAP maintains the seats it won in the last election (with a thumping victory in Jelapang) while PAS and PKR make inroads in rural seats currently held by UMNO.
• A win for Pakatan Rakyat in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, with PKR holding the majority of seats and no major change in the composition of seats in the Assembly.
• Wins by progressive and non-conservative figures by any party in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu to quieten the fundamentalist movement on the east coast and revive a more progressive image of Islam for the nation. Preferably for the PAS government to be returned to power in Kelantan with a smaller majority and for Terengganu to be continue to be held by UMNO. I have no preference for who will govern Kedah. The PAS led Pakatan Rakyat government there has been ineffective but I abhor the boasting from BN should they take the state.
• A larger opposition, led by the DAP in Negeri Sembilan
• Wins by PKR and DAP candidates in Malacca to rain on the confidence of the overbearing Datuk Seri MohdAli Rustam,
• Wins by DAP over MCA in all Johor State Legislature Assembly seats to show MCA that they have not sufficiently reformed to have gained the trust of the Chinese community, or the nation as a whole.
• Small gains by Sabah based parties and losses to Sabah UMNO to curb the influence of Peninsular Malaysia figures on Sabah politics, and erode the power of UMNO over Sabah so that eventually, governence of the state is returned to Sabahans.

Federal Politics

• Major wins by Sarawak opposition parties in Sarawak Parliamentary Seats to signal the beginning of the end of Abdul Taib Mahmud's tyrannic thirty two reign in Sarawak.
• Wins by Pakatan Rakyat candidates in all seats in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, and in all urban Parliamentary seats in Selangor to signal to the government that the urban voters are still unimpressed with the rent seeking scum of Barisan Nasional, and greater reform still must take place.
• Increased wins and winning margins for Pakatan Rakyat in Perak Parliamentary seats to signal that the takeover of state seats by BN in 2009 was dirty and despicable.
• More wins for the Pakatan Rakyat coalition in Sabah to create a more competitive political environment there and to erode the "safe deposit" perception BN has of the state.
• Small inroads by the opposition in Melaka and Negeri Sembilan
• A wipe out of MCA Johor for the same reasons a wipeout of their state representatives is necessary. The party must be brought to its knees for the lack of reform despite losing in 2008.
• A slim majority for Barisan Nasional such that Najib Tun Razak  is returned to power led once again by wins from  UMNO in Perlis, Terengganu, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang as well as slight increases in wins from rural Selangor and Kedah. The outcome spurs a new agenda to aggresively wipe out rent seeking personalities from positions of power within Barisan Nasional parties as well as within the civil service. Also, the coalition is moved to create new strategies to restore support from the Chinese and urban communities, primarily by dismantling MCA and a new movement towards making BN a multiracial party with open membership to anyone.
