Bushes hot to disrupt party policies (7)
I believe the answer is:
thicket
'party policies' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'bushes hot to disrupt' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'hot' could be 'h' (abbreviation, eg on taps) and 'h' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ticket' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thicket that I've seen before include "Coppice" , "Mass of shrubs and small trees growing close together" , "Dense shrubbery" , "Dense growth of bushes" , "Dense group of trees or bushes" .)
