Bad vibe - shame what some politicians do (9)
I believe the answer is:
misbehave
'do' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'bad vibe shame' is the wordplay.
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'vibe'+'shame'='vibeshame'
'vibeshame' is an anagram of 'MISBEHAVE'.
'what some politicians' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misbehave that I've seen before include "sin" , "do like naughty schoolchildren" , "Act without propriety" , "mess about" , "Act badly" .)
