Speak for the whole people (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

state

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'speak' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'whole people' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for the' is the link.

(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Claim" , "Condition; nation" , "See 18" , "Part of America" , "eg Alaska" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
