French Senate election (27 September 2026): Rassemblement National (RN) forms an independent Senate group for the first time with at least 10 seats (confirmed by Le Monde or AFP by 28 September 2026)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 8. September 2026 · Predicted for 27. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

55%

In the 2026 Senate election, 178 of 348 seats will be renewed. RN currently lacks the minimum of 10 senators required to form its own parliamentary group. The 2026 municipal elections strengthened RN in several departments whose municipal councillors serve as Senate electors. Le Monde and Connexion France expect significant RN gains. The existing open prediction ('Conservatives retain absolute majority') is consistent with this forecast, as an RN group does not eliminate the conservative majority. No direct prediction market; political polls and municipal election results support approximately 55%.

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.

State election Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (September 20, 2026): Die Linke exceeds 5.0% of votes and re-enters the state parliament (confirmed by Landeswahlleiter MV or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Die Linke won 9.9% in MV's 2021 state election. Nationally the party collapsed to ~3.5% in 2025. MV is arguably the party's last eastern stronghold. The open platform prediction puts BSW below 5% in MV, reducing direct competition for left-leaning voters. No MV-specific September 2026 poll retrievable; extrapolation from eastern German trends suggests a borderline 5–7% range. Assessment: ~50/50, slight lean toward clearing the threshold given structural voter anchoring in MV.
