susan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'girl' is the definition.

'two points about western democracy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'points' could be 'sn' and 'sn' is found within the leftover letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for susan that I've seen before include "Girl's name, meaning lily" , "When lazy, she's a revolving tray on a dining table" , "Girl (sometimes lazy?)" , "She's a black-eyed flower" , "- - Sarandon, film actress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
