Clear set of policy proposals with nothing eliminated (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manifest

'clear' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'set of policy proposals with nothing eliminated' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'set' is 'est' which is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for manifest that I've seen before include "Become apparent" , "Obvious; demonstrate" , "list of passengers flying" , "Clear, obvious" , "Obvious, cargo listing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
