So far at no point in Russian history has the power in the country transitioned to the opposition as a result of a democratic election. All power transitions happened either to a designated successor, or within the same party or political force, or via some sort of revolution or regime change.

Will peaceful transition of power happen for the first time in foreseeable future?

For this market to resolve positively, the following has to happen:

  • A candidate not endorsed by the ruling party or force has to win in the presidential elections.

  • They should assume office within the next few months after the elections.

  • The transition should happen without significant amount of violence (<10 people dead)

  • The country which the new president rules should be the same as before the election. No new constitution or dissolution into smaller states in the 6 months before and after the elections.

I do not bet on my own questions.

By this definition, has a peaceful democratic transition ever happened in Singapore?

Superficially it looks like the last few Singapore presidents were all from the same party, so probably not, but I can’t tell for sure without studying Singapore’s political history in more details.

this shouldn't happen right? each answer is an independent market, and before 2050 has strictly more time in which the event could happen

@Tripping correct

@Tripping It would be cool if Manifold treated markets with several dates in a special way, so that when you are betting on the YES for some date, you'd automatically bet on the other dates to keep the probabilities monotone.
