Silly slogan on way for social policy (8)
I believe the answer is:
glasnost
'policy' is the definition.
(I know that Glasnost is a policy)
'silly slogan on way' is the wordplay.
'silly' is an anagram indicator.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'slogan' with letters rearranged gives 'glasno'.
'glasno'+'st'='GLASNOST'
'for social' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glasnost that I've seen before include "Soviet policy of openness" , "Gorbachev initiative" , "Gorbachev's policy from 1985" , "Openness (Russian)" , "Policy of openness under Gorbachev" .)
