Crossword Genius

Government absolutely should embrace Liberal links (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf course

'links' is the definition.
('golf course' can be a synonym of 'links')

'government absolutely should embrace liberal' is the wordplay.
'government' becomes 'g'.
'absolutely' becomes 'ofcourse' (of course).
'should embrace' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'ofcourse' placed around 'l' is 'olfcourse'.
'g'+'olfcourse'='GOLF-COURSE'

(Other definitions for golf course that I've seen before include "Possibly links" , "area for drivers" , "Royal Troon or Carnoustie, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
