Current Market Pricing

Prediction markets currently imply a live probability of approximately 98.2%.

Market Structure

Markets with tighter spreads and higher liquidity generally indicate stronger trader participation and more efficient price discovery.

Resolution Criteria

Keir Starmer is scheduled to participate in the Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) in the Commons Chamber in the Palace of Westminster on every Wednesday. (https://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-and-tours/watch-committees-and-debates/prime-ministers-questions/).

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Keir Starmer says the listed term during the next Prime Minister's Question Time event he participates in. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No".

Any usage of the term regardless of context will count toward the resolution of this market.

Pluralization/possessive of the term will count toward the resolution of this market, however other forms will NOT count.

Instances where the term is used in a compound word will count regardless of context (e.g. joyful is not a compound word for "joy," however "killjoy" is a compounding of the words "kill" and "joy").

If this market requires a specified number of mentions of a person’s first or last name, a full-name mention will count as one mention (e.g., if a market is about “Joe / Biden 5+ times,” a mention of “Joe Biden” will count once).

AI-generated audio or video will not count toward this market's resolution.

If no such Prime Minister's Question Time event happens by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No". If Starmer ceases to be Prime Minister for any length of time by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".

This market is explicitly about scheduled events featuring Keir Starmer titled "Prime Minister's Question Time" (https://www.parallelparliament.co.uk/mp/keir-starmer/dept/cabinet-office/calendar). Speeches, events, or comments that occur outside of named, scheduled events will not qualify toward this market's resolution. If the event contains a Q&A, it will count toward the resolution of this market.

The resolution source will be video of the events. Only remarks which are broadcast or streamed live will count toward this market's resolution.

Market Interpretation

Prediction markets function as real-time consensus engines.

Traders continuously buy and sell outcome shares based on:

• breaking news
• macro developments
• public narratives
• institutional positioning
• probability reassessments

As a result, market pricing reflects aggregate trader expectations rather than static forecasts or polling systems.

At the current pricing structure:

• YES trades near 98.2¢
• NO trades near 1.7¢
• Implied probability sits near 98.2%

These probabilities may shift rapidly as new information enters the market.

Liquidity & Conviction Analysis

Low liquidity conviction suggests the market currently has low participation depth.

Higher liquidity environments typically produce:

• tighter spreads
• faster price discovery
• stronger informational efficiency
• lower pricing instability

Lower liquidity environments can produce sharper volatility swings and less reliable consensus pricing.

Why Prediction Markets Matter

Prediction markets aggregate trader beliefs into continuously updating probabilities.

Unlike static polling systems, these markets react in real time to:

• political developments
• macroeconomic events
• institutional sentiment
• narrative shifts
• market-moving news
• crowd positioning

This makes them useful as live probabilistic intelligence systems rather than simple betting platforms.
