Stranded without leadership in Government? Roughly (6)
I believe the answer is:
around
'roughly' is the definition.
(around can mean roughly or approximately)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for around that I've seen before include "On every side" , "Somewhere in the vicinity" , "Close to" , "Present; approximately" , "On all sides or near" .)
