Election ran out of impatience (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intolerance

'impatience' is the definition.
(I know that intolerance is a type of impatience)

'election ran out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'election'+'ran'='electionran'
'electionran' with letters rearranged gives 'INTOLERANCE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intolerance that I've seen before include "bigotry" , "D W Griffith film" , "Unwillingness to respect the views of others" , "Lack of acceptance of others' views" , "Inability to endure (something)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
