## The European board in 2026
The forecast for the **Swedish Parliament** in September 2026 points to a hung parliament, a result that could open the door to complex negotiations and uncertain governance. This electoral deadlock is not exclusive to Sweden, as in **Germany**, specifically in **Berlin**, a similar outcome is expected, with **CDU**, **AfD** and **Linke** competing for a majority against **Greens** and **SPD**. Political fragmentation seems to be the general trend.
## A look at Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
In the German federal state of **Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania**, polls for September 2026 suggest a significant surge for **AfD**, which would reach **36%** of the vote. If confirmed, this figure would mark a milestone for the party and could alter the balance of power within Germany. The consolidation of **AfD** in this region is an indicator to watch closely to understand electoral trends at the national level.
## Russia: a predictable picture
As for **Russia**, the projection for September 2026 indicates a clear victory for **Mother Russia** with **235 seats**, while the **KPRF** would obtain **70 seats**, an increase of **20** compared to the previous term.
