Benito's right wing view (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opinion

'view' is the definition.
(I know that view can be written as opinion)

'benito's right wing' is the wordplay.
'right' indicates one should take the final letters (the letter on the right of the word).
'wing' becomes 'pinion' (synonyms).
The last letter of 'benito' is 'o'.
'o'+'pinion'='OPINION'

(Other definitions for opinion that I've seen before include "Personal view" , "Unproved belief or view" , "Belief or conviction" , "Unproven belief" , "Personal belief or judgment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
