Predicted for 31. August 2026

Based on: Speculative
Following the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei on 28 February 2026 by US/Israeli airstrikes, indirect nuclear negotiations via Qatari and Pakistani mediators have gained significant momentum. VP Vance stated on 1 July 2026: 'talks going well' (CNN). UN inspectors were granted temporary access to Iranian nuclear facilities. Key open issues: $300B reconstruction program, sanctions timeline, uranium enrichment level. Polymarket market 'Total Internet Blackout in Iran by August 31' active (proxy for domestic instability). No direct nuclear deal market found. Metaculus community estimates similar deal milestones for 2026 at ~25–35%. Own estimate 27% – advanced negotiations, but internal Iranian power consolidation after Khamenei's death and diverging demands slow formal agreement.

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%.

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.

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.
