Miners' leader with Conservative party? (3)
I believe the answer is:
doc
'miners' leader' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'conservative party?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'conservative' could be 'c' (UK political abbreviation) and 'c' is located in the answer.
'party?' could be 'do' (do is a kind of party) and 'do' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for doc that I've seen before include "Holliday (in 17 24)" , "GP (informal)" , "Disney dwarf" , "scaled-down version of GP" , "Medic (familiar)" .)
