Crafty enough to make Ian an MP? (7)
I believe the answer is:
politic
'crafty' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for politic that I've seen before include "constitutional" , "Sensible, judicious" , "Prudent - type of body" , "Expedient" , "Prudent, sagacious" .)
