Morphology
excessive + politicism
The adjective 'excessive' clearly signals 'beyond reasonable limits', and the intended noun sense is a formation from 'politic/ politics' meaning political behaviour or orientation, so the overall meaning 'overly political behaviour' can be compositionally derived. However, 'politicism' is a rare/nonstandard lexical item and its formation may not be recognized by a typical B1 learner, so the link is only partially reliable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Excessive politicism comes from the image of a person at a meeting who turns every comment into a political point. The word excessive means 'too much' and politicism means making things about politics, so the phrase describes behavior or speech that is 'overly political' where that is not needed.
