Plan once again coming from socialist platform? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

redraft

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'plan once again' is the definition.
'redraft' can be an answer for 'plan' (I have seen 'New plan' mean 'redraft' so perhaps 'plan' could also mean 'redraft'). I'm not certain of the 'once again' bit.

'socialist platform?' is the wordplay.
'socialist' becomes 'red' (socialism is often associated with the colour red).
'platform?' becomes 'raft' (I have seen 'Buoyant platform' mean 'raft' so perhaps 'platform' could also mean 'raft').
'red'+'raft'='REDRAFT'

'coming from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for redraft that I've seen before include "Make a copy" , "Produce a new version of a document" , "second edition" , "Sketch a new plan" , "Change outline" .)
