English political party to make speech? Fancy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elaborate

'fancy' is the definition.
('elaborate' can be similar in meaning to 'fancy')

'english political party to make speech?' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'political party' becomes 'lab'.
'to make speech?' becomes 'orate' (I've seen this in other clues).
'e'+'lab'+'orate'='ELABORATE'

(Other definitions for elaborate that I've seen before include "Fussy" , "with added detail" , "Complicate" , "Add details to clarify meaning" , "Detailed, complicated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
