Inclination for artist to meet politician (4)
I believe the answer is:
ramp
'inclination' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'artist to meet politician' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'to meet' says to put letters next to each other.
'politician' becomes 'mp'.
'ra'+'mp'='RAMP'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for ramp that I've seen before include "Inclined plane; swindle" , "Inclined walkway" , "Inclined surface - swindle" , "Slope - racket" , "Slope or low hump on a road" .)
