Assemble best policies, none the less, for referendums (11)

I believe the answer is:

plebiscites

'referendums' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'assemble best policies none the less' is the wordplay.
'assemble' is an anagram indicator.
'none' becomes 'o'.
'the less' is a deletion indicator.
'best'+'policies'='bestpolicies'
'bestpolicies' with 'o' removed is 'bestplicies'.
'bestplicies' with letters rearranged gives 'PLEBISCITES'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for plebiscites that I've seen is " Referendums".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
