I'm right to remove leaders to get power (5)
I believe the answer is:
might
'power' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'i'm right to remove leaders' is the wordplay.
'i'm' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to remove leaders' means to remove the first letter (the letters which lead the words are removed).
'right' with its initial letter taken off is 'ight'.
'm'+'ight'='MIGHT'
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for might that I've seen before include "intensity of feeling" , "Strength - could possibly" , "is not unlikely to" , "- - and main" , "May, in the past" .)
