'the criterion' to elect the next government

The 310,000 votes in the coming 13th general election is regarded as 'critical'.

This is because BN,the ruling coalition, had the majority in the last general election and it has come into power till now.

The oppositon must have,at least,this majority, before they can think to reach Putrajaya to rule the country.

The votes BN obtained in the 2008's 12th general election dropped 13.6%,compared to the 2004 general election. This means that BN can not afford to lose the votes if taking all the factors of the present situation into account. The most important factor is the livelihood of the poors who regard prices of their daily and essential items as 'the criterion' to elect the next government.
