Swedish Riksdag election (13 September 2026): Incumbent Tidö coalition (M+SD+KD+L) loses its parliamentary majority (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by 14 September 2026)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 4. September 2026 · Predicted for 13. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
65%

Current polls project only ~147 seats for the Tidö bloc (M+SD+KD+L) — well short of the 175 needed for a majority in the 349-seat Riksdag. The open Cassandra forecast that Liberalerna (L) fails the 4% threshold would weaken the bloc further. At the same time the left camp (S+V+MP+C) is collectively much stronger per current polls. Apollo News confirms: 'right-wing camp gains ground but remains behind majority'. No counter-prediction in the existing list.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Schwedische Riksdag-Umfragen Sep 2026: Tidö-Bloc ~147 Sitze (politpro.eu / Wikipedia DE, 4. September 2026)
  • Apollo News: 'Rechtes Lager legt zu, Mehrheit bleibt fraglich' (Apollo News, ca. 3. September 2026)
  • Offene Cassandra-Prognose: Liberalerna (L) scheitert an 4 %-Hürde (Cassandra.news)
Verdict: Pending
This prediction is still open. It will be evaluated automatically against real-world sources after its due date.

Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): FDP falls below 5.0% of valid votes and fails to enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Swedish Riksdag election (September 13, 2026): Liberalerna (L) falls below 4.0% and fails to clear the parliamentary threshold (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by September 14, 2026)

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
