Busy MEP, strong but no Liberal, able to share feelings (10)
I believe the answer is:
empathetic
'busy' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'mep strong but no liberal able to share feelings' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'mep' is 'emp' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for empathetic that I've seen before include "Understanding" , "Appreciating another's feelings" .)
