Party seeking Independence Day to wrap up a kind of election (4)
I believe the answer is:
snap
'kind of election' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'party seeking independence day to wrap up a' is the wordplay.
'party seeking independence day' becomes 'snp' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to wrap up' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'snp' going around 'a' is 'SNAP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snap that I've seen before include "type of election" , "Photograph - without warning" , "Cut" , "Simple card-game" , "Speak irritably; photo" .)
