A belief in reform around Sweden is likely (8)
I believe the answer is:
feasible
'likely' is the definition.
(feasible means likely to work)
'a belief in reform around sweden' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'sweden' could be 's' and 's' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'belief' is 'feible' which is located in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for feasible that I've seen before include "Easily possible to do" , "is likely to work" , "Able to be done, practical" , "Achievable" , "not impossible" .)
