It is a step rather than a leap, but the European Parliament is set to shift rightward after Brexit.

The Parliament will use the loss of the U.K.'s 73 MEPs as an opportunity to rebalance the assembly in favor of countries whose populations are currently not represented adequately. This rebalancing is not designed to favor any particular political group. But the distribution of the 27 proposed top-up legislators — who have been waiting in the wings since the European election last May — will have an impact on the political balance of the legislature.

The Greens and liberal Renew Europe groups are set to lose out the most from the reshuffle, which will take the legislature from 751 to 705 seats, while the center-right European People's Party and Euroskeptic Identity and Democracy group will emerge as the biggest winners.

Geographically, the British exit will boost the influence of Southern European delegations in the chamber. Spain for example is set to gain five seats and its delegation will surpass the Romanians within Renew Europe. Italy picks up three, while France gains five.

The final composition of the chamber, as well as the names and political affiliation of the new MEPs, will only be determined finally once all countries send their lists to the Parliament.

Here are five charts summarizing the expected impact of Brexit on the European Parliament:
