Do politicians follow animal? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
stag party
'animal?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'do politicians follow' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'do' could be 'party' (I've seen this before) and 'party' is found within the answer.
'follow' could be 'tag' and 'tag' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stag party that I've seen before include "event for men" , "All male whoopee night" , "All-male get-together" , "Do for blokes" , "Wild celebration for male deer?" .)
