Repercussions of statute introduced by current politician (6)
I believe the answer is:
impact
'repercussions' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'statute introduced by current politician' is the wordplay.
'statute' becomes 'act' (an act of law).
'introduced by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'current' becomes 'I' (physics symbol).
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'i'+'mp'='imp'
'act' after 'imp' is 'IMPACT'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for impact that I've seen before include "Force or shock of a collision" , "Forceful consequence" , "Force of blow or collision" , "Strong effect" , "The force of one body against another" .)
