In political draft, article time after time referring to two parties (9)
I believe the answer is:
bilateral
'referring to two parties' is the definition.
(referring to two political parties or groups)
'in political draft article time after time' is the wordplay.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'political draft' becomes 'bill' (the draft of a bill before it enters law).
'article time' becomes 'at' (this could be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 'era' (era is a kind of time).
'at'+'era'='atera'
'bill' enclosing 'atera' is 'BILATERAL'.
(Other definitions for bilateral that I've seen before include "involving two sides" , "Two-sided" , "involving more than one party?" , "Undertaken by two parties" , "Involving two parties" .)
