I believe the answer is:
platform
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">raised stage</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for platform that I've seen before include "manifesto" , "Stand (taken by speakers?)" , "Stage for speaker or rail traveller" , "Party line" , "Raised area for speakers" .)
