Many tents around politician (4)
I believe the answer is:
camp
'many tents' is the definition.
'camp' can be an answer for 'tents'. I'm unsure of the 'many' bit.
'around politician' is the wordplay.
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'ca'+'mp'='CAMP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for camp that I've seen before include "Live in a tent" , "Ostentatiously gay" , "Distance down" , "prehistoric site" , "A tent, or effeminate in style" .)
