Bizarre polemic Democrat put together (8)

I believe the answer is:

compiled

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

'bizarre polemic democrat' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' is an anagram indicator.
'democrat' becomes 'd' (**).
'polemic' with letters rearranged gives 'compile'.
'compile'+'d'='COMPILED'

(Another definition for compiled that I've seen is " Put together".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
