Lippy type welcomes, for example, English government in power (6)
I believe the answer is:
regime
'government in power' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lippy type welcomes for example english' is the wordplay.
'lippy type' becomes 'rim' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'welcomes' indicates putting letters inside (in sense of 'invites in').
'for example' becomes 'eg' ('e.g.' can be a synonym of 'for example').
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'rim' placed around 'eg' is 'regim'.
'regim'+'e'='REGIME'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regime that I've seen before include "co-ordinated programme" , "Routine" , "Plan for therapy or government in power" , "Authoritarian system" , "Governing authority or therapy plan" .)
