'political group out of power supporting the creative industries' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'political group out of power' is the wordplay.
'political group' becomes 'party' (a political party).
'out of' suggests deleting specific letters.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'party' with 'p' taken away is 'ARTY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
