Holyrood's call to get rid of moderate politicians in surfer gear? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
wet suit
'surfer gear?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'holyrood's call to get rid of moderate politicians' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'moderate politicians' could be 'wets' (term popular when Margaret Thatcher was in power) and 'wets' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wet suit that I've seen before include "Diver's attire" , "Diver's rubber gear" , "Diving attire" , "Swimming costume" , "Sportswear" .)
