Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current Swedish polling (PolitPro, August 23, 2026) shows Liberalerna at 2.0% — well below the 4% legal threshold. Polymarket prices the Social Democrats (S) as election winner at 99%; Liberalerna does not appear in any leading party markets. Even with a historically high positive polling deviation of +1.8 percentage points, the party would not cross the threshold. Liberalerna has consistently polled below 4% since 2023.
Data basis for this prediction
- PolitPro Schweden Wahlumfrage: Liberalerna 2,0 % (Stand: 23. August 2026)
- Polymarket Sweden Parliamentary Election Winner: Sozialdemokraten 99 %, Liberalerna nicht gelistet (23. August 2026)
- Wikipedia: Opinion polling for 2026 Swedish general election — Liberalerna <3 % in allen Umfragen seit März 2026
Verdict: Miss
Liberalerna erzielte bei der Riksdag-Wahl am 13. September 2026 laut Valmyndigheten und übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia, SVT, PolitPro) 5,3 % der Stimmen und zog mit 19 von 349 Sitzen sicher in den Riksdag ein – ein Zuwachs gegenüber 2022 (4,6 %). Die Vorhersage lag falsch, weil die Partei in den letzten Wochen vor der Wahl deutlich zulegen konnte. Umfragen hatten sie Wochen zuvor noch bei ~2 % gesehen, doch offenbar mobilisierte Liberalerna im Endspurt effektiv ihre bürgerliche Stammwählerschaft. Der tatsächliche Wert lag rund 3,3 Prozentpunkte über der Sperrklausel und ~3,3 Punkte über den zitierten Umfragewerten.

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.
