Opening part, representative (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mouthpiece

'representative' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'opening part' is the wordplay.
'opening' becomes 'mouth' (mouth is a kind of opening).
'part' becomes 'piece' (piece is a kind of part).
'mouth'+'piece'='MOUTHPIECE'

(Other definitions for mouthpiece that I've seen before include "Spokesperson" , "Spokesman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
