Show Arctic assembly of the people (10)

I believe the answer is:

democratic

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

'show arctic assembly of the people' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'show arctic assembly' is the wordplay.
'show' becomes 'demo' (I've seen this in another clue).
'assembly' is an anagram indicator.
'arctic' with letters rearranged gives 'cratic'.
'demo'+'cratic'='DEMOCRATIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for democratic that I've seen before include "Popular" , "Egalitarian" , "23 [JFK] was" , "Enabling the will of the people" , "party in US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
