Power in Britain, as corrupt, supported by Con and Lab? (10)

I believe the answer is:

bipartisan

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

'supported by con and lab?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'power in britain as corrupt' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'corrupt' is an anagram indicator (a corrupted spelling of the word).
'britain'+'as'='britainas'
'britainas' anagrammed gives 'biartisan'.
'p' inserted into 'biartisan' is 'BIPARTISAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bipartisan that I've seen before include "Involving agreement across political divides" , "As is cooperation between two parties" , "With both sides' agreement" , "supported by two political parties!" , "Cooperative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
