Healthy intake creates sensible parliament (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
balanced diet
'healthy intake' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'sensible parliament' is the wordplay.
'sensible' becomes 'balanced' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'parliament' becomes 'diet' (I've seen this before).
'balanced'+'diet'='BALANCED DIET'
'creates' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
