See an election return in the lounge (6)
I believe the answer is:
lollop
'the lounge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'see an election return' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'an election' becomes 'poll' (I've seen this before).
'return' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'poll' written backwards gives 'llop'.
'lo'+'llop'='LOLLOP'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lollop that I've seen before include "Walk in loose and ungainly way" , "Bound along clumsily" , "Progress ineptly" , "take it easy" , "Lounge" .)
