High-flyer right behind Tory party (6)
I believe the answer is:
condor
'high-flyer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'right behind tory party' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'behind' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tory' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for conservative).
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'con'+'do'='condo'
'r' after 'condo' is 'CONDOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for condor that I've seen before include "Large bird of the Andes (national symbol of Peru)" , "Large flyer" , "Large American vulture" , "Large bird of prey" , "Largest New World vulture" .)
