Independent British party symbol (4)
I believe the answer is:
icon
'symbol' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'independent british party' is the wordplay.
'independent' becomes 'i'.
'british party' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for Conservatives. I am not sure about the 'british' bit.).
'i'+'con'='ICON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "work of art" , "Image on computer screen representing facility" , "'Symbol, religious or computer (4)'" , "item on the menu" , "Sprites" .)
