Right-wing politician to invite scorn (8)
I believe the answer is:
contempt
'scorn' is the definition.
(I know that scorn can be written as contempt)
'right-wing politician to invite' is the wordplay.
'right-wing politician' becomes 'con' (I am not sure about the 'right-wing' bit.).
'to invite' becomes 'tempt' (tempting is a kind of inviting).
'con'+'tempt'='CONTEMPT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for contempt that I've seen before include "Scorn; disgrace" , "Disobedience to the rule of court of law" , "Complete lack of respect, as sometimes of court" , "The feeling of despising someone" , "bad behaviour in court" .)
