Enticement to switch directions in government (4)
I believe the answer is:
rule
'government' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rule that I've seen before include "Prescribed guide for conduct" , "Dominion" , "Determination" , "Lay down" , "Strip" .)
