Herculean task for party dominating ballot? (6)
I believe the answer is:
labour
'dominating ballot?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'herculean task for party' is the wordplay.
'herculean task' becomes 'our' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'party' becomes 'lab' (abbreviation for Labour).
'our' put after 'lab' is 'LABOUR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for labour that I've seen before include "Shakespeare: 'Love's ...... Lost'" , "Hard work, toil" , "unnecessarily elaborate" , "Hard work, party" , "End of term" .)
