Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
BSW posted strong results in the 2024 eastern German state elections (Thuringia 15.8%, Saxony 11.8%, Brandenburg 13.5%), but the national trend has since declined sharply. An open platform prediction expects BSW to fail the 5% threshold in Saxony-Anhalt (September 6, 2026). Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is structurally different: an SPD stronghold with traditionally stronger left-leaning voter dispositions — Wagenknecht's positions on peace negotiations and social justice may resonate more in M-V's rural constituencies than in SA. The Polymarket market on BSW (M-V) exists only for 'BSW wins the most seats' (0.1%) — clearing the threshold is a far lower bar. Without current M-V-specific polls, the estimate is conservative at 47%.
Data basis for this prediction
- BSW Ergebnisse 2024: Thüringen 15,8%, Sachsen 11,8%, Brandenburg 13,5% (Bundeswahlleiter 2024)
- Polymarket: 'BSW gewinnt meiste Sitze M-V' = 0,1%; AfD 87,5%, SPD 13,5% (26.08.2026)
- Offene Vorhersage Plattform: BSW scheitert an 5%-Sperrklausel in Sachsen-Anhalt (6. Sept. 2026)
- M-V Landtagswahl 20. September 2026 (Landeswahlleiter Mecklenburg-Vorpommern / Wahlrecht.de)
Verdict: Miss
BSW erhielt bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 4,8 % der Zweitstimmen – knapp unter der 5 %-Sperrklausel – und zog damit nicht in den Landtag ein. Die Vorhersage (Einzug ins Parlament) trat nicht ein. Als Hauptursache gilt der bundesweit weiter anhaltende Rückgang des BSW-Trends seit den ostdeutschen Wahlen 2024; selbst die strukturellen Vorteile M-Vs (stärkere Linksorientierung, ländliche Wahlkreise) reichten nicht aus, um die Hürde zu überwinden.

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.
