Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
PolitPro election trend (Sep 4, 2026): Liberalerna at 2.4–2.5%. Infostat poll (Sep 1): 2.5%. TV4 poll (Aug 31): 3.3% – even in the best scenario 0.7 percentage points below the Swedish 4% threshold. Not a single poll in the past six weeks shows the party anywhere near 4%. Tactical voters are migrating to Moderaterna (>15%, existing prediction) and KD. Polymarket has no specific Liberalerna contract; the aggregate strongly implies the party will fail the threshold.
Data basis for this prediction
- PolitPro Wahltrend Schweden, 4. Sep 2026: Liberalerna 2,4 %

Verdict: Miss
Liberalerna übertraf die 4%-Sperrklausel deutlich und zog mit 5,4 % der Stimmen (19 Mandate) in den Riksdag ein. Die Vorwahlumfragen hatten die Partei bei 2,4–3,3 % gesehen – ein klassischer Fall massiver Umfrageunterschätzung ('late swing' und/oder systematischer Polling-Fehler). Laut Valmyndigheten (Pressemitteilung 17. Sep 2026, val.se) und SVT/Wikipedia-Ergebnis war das Resultat mit 19 Mandaten sogar ein klares Comeback. Die Vorhersage lag damit vollständig daneben: Die angenommene Wahrscheinlichkeit von 85 % für ein Scheitern an der Hürde trat nicht ein.

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Ukrainian, US, and Russian negotiators convene November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. Russia conducted large-scale long-range strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and logistics hubs on November 3–4; Ukraine responded with drone strikes on the Ryazan refinery. Positions on territory and security guarantees remain far apart. No Polymarket or Kalshi market covers this specific event; historical base rate for failure of comparable trilateral talks: >80%.

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.
