Democrat altered route: circuitous one? (6)

I believe the answer is:

detour

(Other definitions for detour that I've seen before include "Deviate from planned route, go around" , "Go round an obstruction" , "Routed (anag.)" , "Temporary roundabout way" , "Circuitous route" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
