Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Current polls (Polara, as of July 2026) show Liberalerna (L) at just 1% — far below Sweden's 4% electoral threshold. The party is part of the Tidökoalitionen government (M, SD, KD, L) under PM Ulf Kristersson but has been losing relevance for years. Falling below 4% would deprive the Tidö coalition of its parliamentary majority: the right bloc polls ~44% versus ~47% for the left bloc. About 7 weeks remain until the 13 September election; recovering from 1% to ≥4% would require trebling vote share — historically rare in Swedish short-term polling trends. No Polymarket market for Sweden 2026; own calibration 72%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Liberalerna Umfragewert: 1 % (Polara.se Dashboard, Stand Juli 2026)
- Rechter Block ~44 % vs. linker Block ~47,2 % (Polara.se, Stand Juli 2026)
- Schwedische Riksdagswahl 2026: 13. September 2026 (Valmyndigheten / Wikipedia)
Verdict: Miss
Liberalerna überwand die 4-Prozent-Hürde deutlich und zog mit 19 Mandaten (≈5,1–5,4 % der Stimmen, +0,7 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 2022) in den Riksdag ein – mehr Sitze als zuvor (2022: 16). Die Vorhersage beruhte auf einem Polara-Umfragewert von 1 % (Juli 2026), der sich als massiver Ausreißer erwies. Im Endresultat gehörte L zu den acht Parteien, die die Sperrklausel überschritten, und die Tidökoalition (M+SD+KD+L) erzielte mit ≈49,9 % der Sitze eine knappe Mehrheit.

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.
