Predicted for 31. October 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
Prediction markets assign the left bloc (S+V+MP) a win probability above 98% (Polymarket, lines.com, as of September 2026). Projections show Socialdemokraterna with approximately 111 seats as the clearly largest party; Liberalerna (L) fails the 4% threshold per the existing platform prediction — reducing the right-bloc base. Without L, the right bloc (M+SD+KD) would hold ~159 seats vs. left bloc (S+V+MP) ~164 seats. The Riksdag Speaker would then designate the S party leader as formateur. Historically, Swedish government formation has taken 4–6 weeks after the election (deadline: October 31).

Verdict: Miss
Der Linksblock gewann die Wahl knapp (176:173 Sitze), und Reichstagssprecher Andreas Norlén beauftragte Magdalena Andersson (S) am 18. September 2026 tatsächlich mit der Regierungsbildung. Damit erhielt S den Regierungsauftrag wie vorhergesagt. Jedoch: Beim ersten Riksdag-Votum am 15. Oktober 2026 wurde Andersson als Premierministerin mit 248 Nein- gegen nur 99 Ja-Stimmen abgelehnt – alle anderen Parteien stimmten gegen sie, nur S stimmte dafür. Danach sondierte Centerpartiets Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist (beauftragt am 19. Oktober) eine parteienübergreifende Koalition (C+S+KD+MP+L), scheiterte aber am 26. Oktober. Am 3. November 2026 wurde auch Thand Ringqvist im Riksdag mit 324:25 Stimmen abgelehnt. Bis zum 31. Oktober 2026 war somit keine neue Regierung bestätigt. Kerngründe für das Verfehlen: (1) Liberalerna scheiterte entgegen der Prognose nicht an der 4%-Hürde; (2) V und MP unterstützten Andersson im Votum nicht; (3) die Regierungsbildung dauerte weit über Oktober hinaus an, mit Kristersson als weiterhin amtierendem Premier.

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.
