Clumsy person near to where MPs vote (5)
I believe the answer is:
lobby
'clumsy person' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'near to where mps vote' is the wordplay.
'near' becomes 'by' (near means close by).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'where mps vote' becomes 'lob' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'by' put after 'lob' is 'LOBBY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lobby that I've seen before include "Small hall" , "Seek to influence (a legislator)" , "Vestibule" , "Antechamber" , "entrance-hall" .)
