Expose elected government for initiating spa excursions (7)
I believe the answer is:
outings
'excursions' is the definition.
('outing' can be a synonym of 'excursion')
'expose elected government for initiating spa' is the wordplay.
'expose' becomes 'out' (to out someone is to expose them).
'elected' becomes 'in' (in government).
'government' becomes 'g' (abbreviation for government).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'initiating' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'initiated' mean this).
The initial letter of 'spa' is 's'.
'out'+'in'+'g'+'s'='OUTINGS'
(Other definitions for outings that I've seen before include "Pleasure trips" , "Excursions, jaunts" .)
