Politician gets support and money abroad (9)
I believe the answer is:
greenback
'money abroad' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'politician gets support' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'green' (eg member of the Green Party).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'support' becomes 'back' (to back is to support or endorse).
'green'+'back'='GREENBACK'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for greenback that I've seen before include "money" , "Dollar bill" .)
