What exactly is the point of this visualisation? It could be meaningful if the parties were grouped into broader categories, but like this, it’s useless. This would be better presented as a table.
Leading party according to polls? Which month and which poll in particular did you use?
Never trust a Labour government!!!
Social-democrats in Denmark aren’t center-left like SPD in Germany???
Dude…grouping is key
HDZ light blue? That’s totally unpatriotic colour, we don’t accept anything less than a regular/dark blue. Smh
We vote the liberals even though they are as useless as the PSD for being less corrupt-ish, but they come to power due to the previous coalition collapsing and the liberals make a coalition with the Social Democrats. Just end our suffering already.
Why not write the names into the borders? This is horrible
Vlaams Belang doesn’t lead Belgium. Not only they aren’t in government and are in the opposition, but they are absent/don’t exist in the southern half of the country. There is no such thing such as a leading party in Belgium, since French-speakers can’t vote for, and aren’t represented by Dutch-speaking parties; and Dutch-speakers can’t vote for, and aren’t represented by French-speaking parties.
This is a list of mostly discrete items, mapping and colouring it doesn’t add much when we have to look to the index to make sense of it.
Coloring by some other measure might make more sense on a map.
Also missed an opportunity to show that Sinn Féin are probably most popular on both sides of the Irish border – are there any other cross border parties?
I suppose the colors are wrong for more countries. In Sweden the ruling and leading social democrat party is always represented by red. The blue shown here always represents the leading opposition party, the moderates.

According to your source, the CDU/CSU is ahead in Germany: https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/germany/
No wonder no two countries have the same colour…
If you’re going to have one colour per country, then it’s better to make a list than a map.
PSOE isn’t socialist at all. It’s center-left.
SPÖ is a Social Democratic Party.
