It's the poll results data from here:

I separated all results across the country per party and per poll, then applied Benford's law to their sets.
You might be right about not getting enough variety in magnitude though... I'll try summing by polling station first

How about Benfords second digit?
Even with polling stations the magnitude variation might be too small. You would need something like in the US, speak data on a county level. They have counties with only a few thousands votes and counties with a few million votes.
