In ridiculous races, the parliamentarian will run (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scamper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'will run' is the definition.
'scamper' can be an answer for 'run' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'will' bit.

'in ridiculous races the parliamentarian' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ridiculous' is an anagram indicator.
'the parliamentarian' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'races' anagrammed gives 'scaer'.
'scaer' placed around 'mp' is 'SCAMPER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scamper that I've seen before include "Run and skip playfully about" , "Run around" , "Beetle" , "Skip about briskly" , "Run quickly and lightly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
