Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Liberalerna polls at just 2.0% in the current aggregate (August 13–24, 2026) — far below the 4% national threshold. Even allowing for a ±2pp polling error, the probability of clearing the threshold is very low. In 2022 the party barely entered parliament at 4.7%; the current slump to 2.0% reflects the structural decline of Sweden's liberal center. Doubling support in 2.5 weeks without a dramatic catalyst is historically unprecedented.
Data basis for this prediction
- Liberalerna: 2,0% (Umfragen-Aggregat 13.–24. August 2026, Wikipedia/SCB-Daten)
- Riksdag-Sperrklausel: 4% national ODER 12% in einem Wahlkreis (riksdagen.se)
- Riksdag-Wahl 2022: Liberalerna 4,7% (Valmyndigheten, Sept. 2022)

Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage ist klar nicht eingetreten. Liberalerna erhielt am 13. September 2026 laut Valmyndigheten ca. 5,34 % der Stimmen (bei Auszählung von ~80 % der Wahlkreise stand sie bei 5,4 %) und gewann 19 der 349 Riksdag-Sitze — das sind 0,64 Prozentpunkte mehr als 2022. Parteichefin Simona Mohamsson feierte dies als 'historisches Comeback'. Die Vorhersage basierte auf Umfragen von ~2,0–2,3 %, was sich als massive Unterschätzung der tatsächlichen Wählermobilisierung erwies: Liberalerna-Anhänger dürften angesichts des drohenden Ausscheidens in überdurchschnittlich hoher Zahl strategisch mobilisiert worden sein (sog. 'threshold rally effect'). Quellen: val.se (Valmyndigheten), SVT Valresultat 2026 (valresultat.svt.se/2026/), Wikipedia 'Riksdagsvalet i Sverige 2026', Mappr Sweden Election 2026.

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.
