Current term for a politician (3)
I believe the answer is:
amp
'current' is the definition.
(electricity)
'term for a politician' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'politician' could be 'mp' (Member of Parliament) and 'mp' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amp that I've seen before include "A flow of one coulomb per second" , "Map about electric unit" , "Sound-boosting piece of equipment (abbr)" , "Map of electric current" , "It helps you hear" .)
