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

'politician in city of paris' is the definition.
'tory' can be an answer for 'politician' (term for a Conservative Party politician). I am unsure of the 'in city of paris' bit.

'right move' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'move' could be 'toy' (toying is a kind of moving) and 'toy' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'making' acts as a link.
