Election date endlessly changed providing diversion (11)

I believe the answer is:

delectation

'diversion' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'election date endlessly changed' is the wordplay.
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'changed' indicates an anagram.
'election'+'date'='electiondate'
'electiondate' with its final letter taken away is 'electiondat'.
'electiondat' with letters rearranged gives 'DELECTATION'.

'providing' acts as a link.

(Another definition for delectation that I've seen is " Pleasure".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
