'free marketeer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'yes vote in hong kong' is the wordplay.
'yes vote' becomes 'aye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'hong kong' becomes 'HK' (abbreviation for Hong Kong).
'aye' going inside 'hk' is 'HAYEK'.

'getting' is the link.
