Share of party vote going west? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dollop
'share' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'party vote going west?' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'vote' becomes 'poll' (polling is a kind of voting).
'going west?' says the letters should be written backwards.
'poll' in reverse letter order is 'llop'.
'do'+'llop'='DOLLOP'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dollop that I've seen before include "Quality of eg cream" , "Large spoonful" , "Large shapeless lump" , "Semisolid lump" , "great lump" .)
