Money bound to inspire premier in surprisingly moderate policy (8)
I believe the answer is:
centrism
'moderate policy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'money bound to inspire premier in' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'bound' becomes 'rim' (both can mean a limit or boundary).
'to inspire premier' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'rim' enclosing 's' is 'rism'.
'cent'+'rism'='CENTRISM'
'surprisingly' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for centrism that I've seen before include "Political philosophy based on avoiding extremes" , "always having the middle ground" , "moderation in politics" .)
