'bossy' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'politician to the right behind macron's dad' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'politician' could be 'tory' (term for a Conservative Party politician) and 'tory' is present in the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
