Awkwardly proposes to adversaries (8)
I believe the answer is:
opposers
'to adversaries' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'awkwardly proposes' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'proposes' with letters rearranged gives 'OPPOSERS'.
(Other definitions for opposers that I've seen before include "adversaries" , "dissenters" .)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
