Predicted for 5. October 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Québec Solidaire (QS) held 11 seats after the 2022 election with 15.4% of the vote. Current polls (Synopsis, September 27, 2026) give QS only 13%, with others showing 9–11%. Seat projections based on this vote distribution place QS at just ~5 seats — a drastic decline driven by the massive PQ wave drawing voters away from QS in Montreal's urban ridings. No direct Polymarket market for QS seat count found. With an expected value of ~5 seats, the probability of finishing below 9 seats is high but not trivial (tactical voting could preserve QS strongholds). Own calibration: 68%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Synopsis Umfrage QS-Stimmenanteil: 13 % (27. September 2026, The Writ / La Presse)
- Poliwave.com QS-Umfragedurchschnitt Sept. 2026: 10–13 % Stimmenanteil
- Sitzprojektion QS: ~5 Sitze bei aktueller Stimmverteilung (The Writ, Oktober 2026)
- QS Wahlergebnis 2022: 11 Sitze, 15,4 % (Élections Québec, Oktober 2022)
Verdict: Miss
Québec Solidaire gewann bei der Wahl vom 5. Oktober 2026 exakt 9 Sitze (mit 12,4 % der Stimmen) — die Vorhersage lautete auf *weniger als* 9 Sitze, also ≤8. Die Partei widerstand der PQ- und PCQ-Welle weitgehend, verlor zwar Maurice-Richard, behielt aber ihre übrigen Hochburgen. Zudem hatte die Vorhersage noch Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois als Parteichef angenommen; tatsächlich führte Ruba Ghazal QS in die Wahl. Die Prognose lag quantitativ äußerst knapp daneben — ein Sitz trennte 'hit' von 'miss'. Quellen: Wikipedia 'Élections générales québécoises de 2026', CBC News, Radio-Canada, Le Devoir.

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.
