Will the Conservative Party win less than 172 seats in Canada’s next Federal parliamentary election?
Welcome to the Multi-AI Oracle. Today, it is forecasting 30% up from 18% yesterday. [Editor’s note: The four predictions on this page add up to 133%, not bad for a GenAI bot, but should be ~100%.]
Obtaining outside newsfeed. Summarizing outside newsfeed:
“The newsfeed includes a range of political developments, though not directly focused on the specific inquiry about the Conservative Party’s potential seat count in Canada’s next federal election. The articles cover political shifts both within Canada and internationally. In Quebec, polling suggests a decline in popularity for Premier François Legault’s government, which could lead to significant seat losses in a hypothetical imminent provincial election. An opinion piece calls for a federal election in Canada, criticizing Justin Trudeau’s leadership and asserting that the Conservatives are poised for victory. Meanwhile, in Ireland, the ruling center-right parties Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael seem likely to win the parliamentary election, though not without challenges. In Nova Scotia, the Progressive Conservative Party secured a strong victory, influencing political dynamics in the region. While these articles indicate some momentum for conservative parties in various contexts, there remains no direct information regarding the Canadian Conservative Party’s exact prospects in the next federal election.”
Fact-checking news summary: Based on the summary provided, here are the specific facts mentioned, along with an assessment of their accuracy and relevance to the original question:
1. **Fact:** Polling suggests a decline in popularity for Premier François Legault’s government in Quebec, which could lead to significant seat losses in a hypothetical imminent provincial election.
– **Correctness:** This statement needs external verification as it pertains to Quebec’s political climate rather than federal data.
– **Relevance:** False. This fact is about Quebec’s provincial politics, not directly related to the Conservative Party’s federal seat prospects.
2. **Fact:** An opinion piece calls for a federal election in Canada and criticizes Justin Trudeau’s leadership, asserting that the Conservatives are poised for victory.
– **Correctness:** Needs verification. While opinion pieces exist, this is a matter of interpretation and expectation rather than a solid factual statement.
– **Relevance:** True. Although it’s speculative and opinion-based, it’s relevant as it relates to Canadian federal politics and the Conservative Party’s prospects.
3. **Fact:** In Ireland, the ruling center-right parties Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael seem likely to win the parliamentary election, though not without challenges.
– **Correctness:** This statement is specific to Irish politics and needs external verification.
– **Relevance:** False. This is about Ireland, not relevant to Canada or the Canadian Conservative Party’s federal performance.
4. **Fact:** In Nova Scotia, the Progressive Conservative Party secured a strong victory, influencing political dynamics in the region.
– **Correctness:** This requires external verification for accuracy, but it’s plausible given local election results.
– **Relevance:** True. While region-specific, it might indicate a trend of conservative strength that could relate indirectly to federal prospects.
5. **Fact:** There is no direct information regarding the Canadian Conservative Party’s exact prospects in the next federal election.
– **Correctness:** Internally consistent given the summary’s content.
– **Relevance:** True. It directly addresses the absence of information needed to answer the original question regarding the Conservative Party’s federal seat count prospects.
In summary, the only potentially relevant facts are the opinion about federal elections and the Conservative Party’s potential for success, and the regional victory of the Progressive Conservative Party in Nova Scotia, which might hint at broader political trends.
Fact-checked summary: There is currently no direct information available regarding the Canadian Conservative Party’s prospects for winning less than 172 seats in the next federal election. Additionally, an opinion piece suggests that the Conservatives might be poised for success in a federal election, reflecting views on Canadian federal politics. Furthermore, the Progressive Conservative Party’s strong regional victory in Nova Scotia could indicate a broader trend that might indirectly influence federal prospects. However, given the absence of specific federal data, any conclusions on the Conservative Party’s future seat count remain speculative.
OpenAI gives a base rate of 0.3. The following were considered in order to produce this base rate:
The base rate is determined by examining the historical performance of the Conservative Party in federal elections, comparing it with current polling data, and factoring in recent regional election outcomes as indicators. The lack of specific data regarding federal trends makes it speculative, but considering the moderate historical volatility of Canadian politics, the likelihood of the Conservative Party winning fewer than 172 seats is estimated to be around 30%. This accounts for the Conservatives needing to maintain or increase their current momentum to avoid such a scenario.
Some potential divergent considerations that might affect the base rate: Changes in national sentiment, unforeseen political scandals, or significant policy shifts by the Liberal Party or other parties could increase their seat count, thus reducing the Conservative count. Additionally, economic downturns or international events affecting Canadian sentiment could lead to shifting voter preferences. These aspects could diverge the outcome from the base rate estimation. Another factor could be the impact of campaigning in key ridings, where the Conservatives might either underperform relative to projections or face unexpectedly strong opposition.
The following chain of events are necessary for the question to resolve positively:
– The Conservative Party receives decreased public support compared to current polling trends, which is considered ‘Unlikely’.
– The Liberal Party or other opposition parties gain significant traction and manage to capture more seats due to a shift in voter sentiment, which is considered ‘Possible’.
– Specific regional trends, such as the Progressive Conservative Party’s victory in Nova Scotia, do not translate into federal gains, which is considered ‘Possible’.

We queried Claude, Mistral, OpenAI (with news sourced from AskNews).
A summary of what the responding AIs considered is as follows:
The various AI analyses predict that the Conservative Party is likely to win over 172 seats in the upcoming federal elections, based on strong current polling trends and recent regional successes, such as in Nova Scotia. However, there is a potential 30-35% chance that factors such as historical volatility, shifts in voter sentiment, unforeseen political scandals, or effective opposition campaigns could result in fewer than 172 seats for the Conservatives. The speculative nature of political forecasting is noted, with potential influences including economic changes, international events, and the impact of key riding campaigns, which may not be perfectly captured in current polling.

Guide to our Multi-AI Oracle’s Reports
Median: We collect the output values from the LLMs in an array. We then take the median value. This is between 0 and 1 (i.e. 0.15 = 15%).
Base rate: Currently we take OpenAI’s value as the base rate. We are working on a better value using a different prompt that takes into account process. The base rate helps to determine if the median makes sense.
SD: The standard deviation between the median and the base rate.
Confidence: We query each of the LLMs on how confident they are of their predictions (between 0 and 10) and take a median. Because the LLMs tend to be overconfident, we take anything lower than 6 as being low confidence. This factors into the overall model.
Conf Mode: Based on the confidence value. >=9 is high confidence. Below 6 is low confidence (this is also triggered by an exceptionally high SD).
Mellers: This refers to Barbara Mellers, specifically a paper she wrote that includes a formula for moving values towards an extreme (i.e. 0 or 1).
Reverse Mellers: This uses the formula from above, but with a sub-1 coefficient to move the values closer to 50%.
Theory of Mind: We ask the LLMs what they think other LLMs would predict. We hope that this makes them consider the questions more deeply.
Beta Distribution: Currently unused, but possibly of interest. This is based on the median, the base rate and the SD.
Close Type: We noticed that the appropriate base case for some questions is closer to the extremes, while others are closer to 50%. When we have a low confidence value, this helps us to determine whether to extremize or de-extremize the value. ‘A’ implies closer to zero. ‘B’ implies closer to 50%. ‘C’ implies closer to 100%.
# LLM Responses: The count of LLMs that responded. We query 5 currently, but they have a relatively high API failure rate.
Model value: For normal confidence mode, this is the median. For high confidence, this is the Mellers value. For low confidence, this is either the Mellers or Reverse Mellers (depending on the Close Type).
Will the Conservative Party win between 172 and 205 seats in Canada’s next federal parliamentary election?
Welcome to the Multi-AI Oracle. Today, it is forecasting 40%, up from 35% yesterday.
Obtaining outside newsfeed. Summarizing outside newsfeed:
“The provided newsfeed contains a variety of information related to political elections and Conservative Party prospects, though it should be noted the sources may not be fully reliable or unbiased. One article advocates for an immediate federal election in Canada, citing dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s policies and predicting a significant Conservative victory. Another article discusses the Irish parliamentary election, where conservative parties appear to be leading according to early projections. A third piece highlights a recent election in Nova Scotia, where the Progressive Conservative Party won a substantial majority, attributing their success to public discontent with inflation and carbon taxes. Overall, these articles suggest a potential momentum for Conservative parties but include various assumptions and should be interpreted with caution.”
Fact-checking news summary: Based on the summary provided, here are specific facts, along with assessments of their correctness and relevance to the original question about the Conservative Party’s prospects in Canada’s next federal parliamentary election:
1. **Fact: An article advocates for an immediate federal election in Canada due to dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s policies and predicts a significant Conservative victory.**
– **Correctness: True/False**
– This fact is internally consistent if the article exists. Whether it’s true externally depends on the accuracy of the article’s content, which cannot be verified without the actual article.
– **Relevance: True**
– This is relevant to the original question as it discusses the potential outcome of a federal election and the potential number of seats the Conservative Party could win.
2. **Fact: An article discusses the Irish parliamentary election, where conservative parties appear to be leading according to early projections.**
– **Correctness: True/False**
– The internal consistency is true if the article indeed discusses this subject. Externally, this would be true if verified with appropriate sources about the Irish election. However, it might be misleading since political contexts between Ireland and Canada are very different.
– **Relevance: False**
– This is not relevant to the original question about the Canadian Conservative Party’s prospects because it pertains to a different country’s election and does not impact Canadian federal election outcomes.
3. **Fact: A recent election in Nova Scotia resulted in a substantial majority for the Progressive Conservative Party, attributed to public discontent with inflation and carbon taxes.**
– **Correctness: True/False**
– This is internally consistent if such an article exists. Externally, it’s true if verified by credible reporting on the Nova Scotia election results and public sentiment.
– **Relevance: True/False**
– This could be seen as relevant (True) because it might indicate a general trend of public sentiment that could affect federal elections. However, Nova Scotia elections don’t directly determine federal outcomes, so its relevance might be considered minimal (False).
Overall, while the summary contains information about Conservative Party movements and sentiments, the relevance to predicting the specific number of seats the Conservative Party might win in a federal election is uncertain and indirectly inferred rather than directly substantiated.
Fact-checked summary: The original question regarding whether the Conservative Party will win between 172 and 205 seats in Canada’s next federal parliamentary election can be informed by one piece of relevant factual information: a recent election in Nova Scotia resulted in a substantial majority for the Progressive Conservative Party, attributed to public discontent with inflation and carbon taxes. Although provincial elections do not directly determine federal outcomes, this result might suggest a trend in public sentiment that could influence federal election dynamics.
OpenAI gives a base rate of 0.35. The following were considered in order to produce this base rate:
The base rate considers the historical performance of the Conservative Party in federal elections, general public sentiment as affected by current economic conditions, and the impact of recent provincial results like the one in Nova Scotia. Historically, the Conservative Party has had a range of outcomes in federal elections, influenced by economic and political climates. The recent provincial election suggests a shift in sentiment that could translate to the federal level, but the differences between provincial and federal politics mean this is not a given.
Some potential divergent considerations that might affect the base rate: Factors that could cause the resolution to differ include the possibility of the Liberal or New Democratic Parties narrowing the gap by addressing public concerns more effectively, or economic conditions improving and diminishing the public’s discontent with current policies. Additionally, unforeseen political events or scandals could shift voter preferences significantly in the lead-up to the federal election. The remaining time until the election allows for substantial changes in the political landscape.
The following chain of events are necessary for the question to resolve positively:
– The national Conservative Party must achieve a level of public support similar to what was seen in the Nova Scotia election, estimated as ‘Possible’.
– The public discontent with inflation and carbon taxes must be prominent issues during the federal election campaign, estimated as ‘Likely’.
– The Conservative Party must effectively capitalize on the current public sentiment and translate it into support at the federal level, estimated as ‘Possible’.
– The opposition, particularly the Liberal Party, must fail to address the concerns of the electorate related to inflation and carbon taxes, estimated as ‘Possible’.

A summary of what the responding AIs considered is as follows:
The prediction of the Conservative Party’s potential gains at the federal level is influenced by a combination of factors including recent strong Conservative performance in provincial elections, current public dissatisfaction with economic conditions like inflation and carbon taxes, and the party’s historical federal election performance. However, there is notable uncertainty due to the differences between provincial and federal voting behaviors in Canada, the precise target seat range, and the time remaining until the election which could lead to shifts in voter dynamics. Economic improvements or effective strategies by opposition parties such as the Liberals or New Democrats addressing public concerns could diminish the Conservative Party’s advantages. Additionally, the prediction is susceptible to unforeseen political events or scandals that could alter voter preferences. Overall, while the Conservative Party may capitalize on current trends, the variability and potential developments in the political landscape add significant unpredictability to the forecast.

Will the Conservative Party win between 206 and 240 seats in Canada’s next federal parliamentary
election?
Welcome to the Multi-AI Oracle. Today, 35% likely, down from yesterday’s 39%.
Obtaining outside newsfeed.
Summarizing outside newsfeed:
“The newsfeed contains diverse articles discussing political events and elections in different regions, none of which directly address the prediction of the Conservative Party winning between 206 and 240 seats in Canada’s federal parliamentary election. The articles include a report on conservative parties leading in the Irish parliamentary election, commentary advocating for an immediate Canadian federal election with claims that the Conservatives are poised for victory, and analysis of an early election in Nova Scotia where the Progressive Conservative Party achieved a supermajority. Additionally, there’s coverage of the British Columbia election, which resulted in no clear winner, with comments from the Conservative leader about significant changes in the province’s political landscape. While these pieces provide context on conservative political momentum in certain areas, they do not offer specific insights or reliable predictions regarding Canada’s next federal election outcomes.”
Fact-checking news summary:
1. Fact: The newsfeed contains diverse articles discussing political events and elections in different regions.
– Correctness: True. This is internally consistent based on the summary provided.
– Relevance: True. This fact sets the context of the inquiry into the potential outcomes of the Canadian federal election.
2. Fact: There is a report on conservative parties leading in the Irish parliamentary election.
– Correctness: True. This is internally consistent with the summary, assuming it extracts accurately from real events.
– Relevance: False. This fact is about the Irish election and does not directly relate to Canadian federal elections or impact the prediction of Conservative seats in Canada.
3. Fact: There is commentary advocating for an immediate Canadian federal election with claims that the Conservatives are poised for victory.
– Correctness: True. This is internally consistent with the summary provided.
– Relevance: True. If accurate, this fact could imply potential momentum for the Conservative Party in Canada, which is related to the question of their seat count in the federal election.
4. Fact: There is analysis of an early election in Nova Scotia where the Progressive Conservative Party achieved a supermajority.
– Correctness: True. This is internally consistent with the summary provided.
– Relevance: True. Although this is about a provincial election, it could indicate a trend or shift in voter sentiment, which might impact federal outcomes.
5. Fact: Coverage of the British Columbia election resulted in no clear winner, with comments from the Conservative leader about significant changes in the province’s political landscape.
– Correctness: True. This is internally consistent with the summary.
– Relevance: True. While not directly about federal outcomes, changes in provincial political landscapes could influence federal dynamics.
Overall, while these facts provide useful context about conservative political trends, they do not directly address or predict the specific seat count for the Canadian federal election outcome in question.
Fact-checked summary: Recent commentary suggests that there is advocacy for an immediate Canadian federal election, with claims that the Conservative Party is well-positioned for victory. Additionally, analysis of a recent provincial election in Nova Scotia showed the Progressive Conservative Party achieving a supermajority, which may indicate a shift in voter sentiment. Changes in the political landscape in British Columbia, as discussed by the Conservative leader, could also influence federal dynamics. While these facts provide insight into potential momentum and trends, they do not directly predict the Conservative Party’s specific seat count between 206 and 240 seats in the upcoming federal election.
OpenAI gives a base rate of 0.2: The following were considered in order to produce this base rate:
The base rate takes into account the historical outcomes of federal elections in Canada and the dynamics of translating provincial success to federal success. While recent provincial shifts suggest potential Conservative momentum, the gap between securing a plurality and obtaining 206-240 seats is substantial. Historically, incumbency and regional variations complicate seat gains necessary to reach this range at the federal level. Analysis of similar elections suggests that achieving this outcome is challenging, but not impossible, given favorable alignment of political factors.
Some potential divergent considerations that might affect the base rate: Factors that could cause deviation from the base rate include an unexpected surge in Conservative popularity nationally or significant missteps by rival parties like the Liberals or NDP. Additionally, geopolitical or economic events could dramatically alter voter priorities and sentiment, potentially favoring the Conservatives. Realignment of regional parties or changes in voter turnout patterns could also impact the final seat distribution significantly.
The following chain of events are necessary for the question to resolve positively:
– The Canadian federal election must be called and held within the time frame in question. (Likely)
– The Conservative Party needs to capitalize effectively on voter sentiment, translating provincial shifts seen in places like Nova Scotia into federal votes. (Even chance)
– The Conservative Party must gain sufficient popular support nationwide to secure between 206 and 240 seats in Parliament. (Unlikely)

We queried Mistral, OpenAI (with news sourced from AskNews). A summary of what the responding AIs considered is as follows:
The prediction concerning the Conservative Party’s potential success in securing 206 to 240 federal seats hinges on a number of factors. Recent provincial victories, such as those in Nova Scotia, indicate a possible shift in voter sentiment towards the Conservatives, although converting this provincial success to the federal level is historically challenging. The base rate of 0.2 highlights the difficulty of achieving this seat range, necessitating a significant nationwide increase in popular support. While the party is perceived to be in a strong position, uncontrollable elements such as geopolitical or economic events could significantly alter voter priorities, either boosting or hindering Conservative prospects. Additionally, potential changes in rival party strategies, voter turnout, regional party dynamics, and even the occurrence of an early federal election could impact the final outcome. Despite some indicators of potential success, these factors contribute to the complexity and unpredictability of the Conservatives achieving the specific seat range in question.

Past Canada Election Forecasts
Will the Conservative Party win more than 240 seats in Canada’s next federal parliamentary election?
Welcome to the Multi-AI Oracle. Today, 28% likely, down from 18% yesterday.
Obtaining outside newsfeed. Summarizing outside newsfeed:
“The newsfeed includes several articles speculating about Canada’s political landscape, particularly concerning the Conservative Party’s prospects in future elections. One piece argues for an immediate federal election, citing dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s leadership and suggesting a strong potential for Conservative success. Another article reports on a recent victory in Nova Scotia, where the Progressive Conservatives, led by Premier Tim Houston, won a significant majority, contributing to a narrative of a Conservative wave across Canada. The success in Nova Scotia, driven by concerns about inflation and taxes, raises questions about its implications for federal politics, especially in traditionally Liberal strongholds. These accounts, however, warrant caution as they may contain unsubstantiated claims and reflect varying degrees of bias.”
Fact-checking news summary: Below is a list of specific facts stated in the summary, along with an assessment of each fact’s correctness and relevance to the question about the Conservative Party winning more than 240 seats in Canada’s next federal parliamentary election:
1. **Fact:** There is dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s leadership.
– **Correctness:** True. There are various reports and public opinion polls that have indicated dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s leadership, especially around certain policy decisions and political events.
– **Relevance:** True. Dissatisfaction with a competing party’s leadership may impact electoral outcomes, possibly benefiting the Conservative Party.
2. **Fact:** There is speculation about the potential for Conservative success in future federal elections in Canada.
– **Correctness:** True. It is common for political speculation to occur, especially in the media, as parties gear up for elections.
– **Relevance:** True. This speculation is directly related to the outcome in question—whether the Conservative Party will win more than 240 seats.
3. **Fact:** The Progressive Conservatives, led by Premier Tim Houston, recently won a significant majority in Nova Scotia.
– **Correctness:** True. The Progressive Conservatives did win a majority in the Nova Scotia provincial election in 2021.
– **Relevance:** False. While it may contribute to a narrative of Conservative strength, provincial elections do not directly correlate with federal elections and involve different parties and political dynamics.
4. **Fact:** The victory in Nova Scotia is contributing to a narrative of a Conservative wave across Canada.
– **Correctness:** True. Political narratives are often constructed based on regional successes, and a provincial victory can contribute to such a narrative.
– **Relevance:** False. A narrative alone does not directly impact federal election results or determine seat counts.
5. **Fact:** Concerns about inflation and taxes drove the success in Nova Scotia.
– **Correctness:** True. Economic concerns, including inflation and taxation, are often significant issues in elections and were factors in recent political discourse.
– **Relevance:** False. Specific provincial concerns may not translate directly to federal voting behavior.
6. **Fact:** The accounts about Conservative prospects warrant caution due to potential unsubstantiated claims and bias.
– **Correctness:** True. Media and political commentary can indeed contain biases and unsubstantiated claims, which should be considered critically.
– **Relevance:** True. Evaluating the reliability of information is important for assessing realistic electoral outcomes.
Fact-checked summary: Public opinion polls and reports have indicated dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s leadership, which may impact electoral outcomes and potentially benefit the Conservative Party in the next federal parliamentary election. While there is speculation about the potential success of the Conservative Party in future federal elections in Canada, it’s essential to consider such claims carefully due to the possibility of bias and unsubstantiated assertions. This evaluation is crucial for realistically assessing whether the Conservative Party will secure more than 240 seats.
OpenAI gives a base rate of 0.15. The following were considered in order to produce this base rate:
The base rate considers the historical performance of the Conservative Party in federal elections, where achieving more than 240 seats is unprecedented. The current political climate shows dissatisfaction with Trudeau, which may benefit the Conservatives. However, the existing distribution of seats and the electoral system make such a large gain challenging. Historically, the Liberal and Conservative parties have split majority support, with significant regional variation playing a critical role.
Some potential divergent considerations that might affect the base rate: Factors that could diverge from the base rate include sudden economic downturns or scandals involving the Liberal Party, which could drastically shift voter sentiment toward the Conservatives. Additionally, a highly successful electoral campaign or charismatic leadership from the Conservative Party could increase their likelihood of winning more seats significantly. Conversely, recovery in Trudeau’s approval ratings or increased support for smaller parties could decrease the likelihood further.
The following chain of events are necessary for the question to resolve positively:
– The Conservative Party must significantly increase its voter base compared to the last federal election. (Moderately likely)
– There must be a substantial shift in key battleground regions favoring the Conservative Party. (Possible)
– Justin Trudeau’s leadership must continue to be viewed unfavorably, impacting the Liberal Party’s performance. (Likely)
– Other opposition parties, such as the NDP and Bloc Québécois, must not significantly gain support that detracts from Conservative prospects. (Possible)

We queried Mistral, OpenAI (with news sourced from AskNews). A summary of what the responding AIs considered is as follows:
The likelihood of the Conservative Party winning more than 240 seats in Canadian federal elections is low due to historical precedents and the complexity of regional dynamics. While dissatisfaction with Justin Trudeau’s leadership and potential favorable shifts in battleground regions might benefit the Conservatives, they must significantly increase their voter base. This is challenging given that other opposition parties, such as the NDP and Bloc Québécois, could siphon potential support. Uncertainties include possible economic downturns or scandals affecting the Liberals, which might bolster Conservative prospects, and the reliability of public opinion polls. Additionally, improvements in the Conservative Party’s leadership image or successful campaign efforts could influence voter sentiment unpredictably.
