BN 4-9 PR

Since the huge political tsunami landed in Penang back in 2008, the state government has done quite well overall, majority of the people would be happy to continue with them. However, BN would regain a few of the parliament seats that they lost which would not affect PR's position in Penang significantly. PR may remain as state government with a reduced majority due to Penang being a Malay-majority state a few years ago and UMNO would be looking to capitalise on their fear-mongering tactics among the Penang Malays to ensure that they get the lion's share of the Malay votes.

Actual score:
BN 3-10 PR

BN 13-11 PR

The delicate issue would be whether the people of Perak are still angry with the change in state government that happened back in 2009 due to frogs. Will Nizar be MB again if PR manages to win back the state? That will be pretty interesting to see. Parliament level-wise, I predicted a status quo for Perak as compared to 2008 whereby BN also won 13 seats. In terms of state government, I think BN would nick it, justifying their takeover back in 2009 despite the people's protests at the time.

Actual score:
BN 12-12 PR

Total score for 2 states above:
BN 17 - 20 PR (2013)
BN 15 - 22 PR (2008)

Total score after 77 seats:
BN 39 - 38 PR (2013)
BN 31 - 45 PR (2008)

Tight race yes? I've put up comparisons so that you know how the movement is predicted to be for this coming GE. As you can see, it would be 16 seat swing to BN (8 gained by BN, 8 lost by PR) after Perak. In my Part 3, I would cover Pahang, Selangor and KL. Those would be interesting battlegrounds that would shape the urban and rural votes.

Actual score for 2 states above:
BN 15 - 22 PR

Actual total score after 77 seats:
BN 37 - 40 PR
