Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'a politician in arranging sport' is the wordplay.
'a politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).

'arranging' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sport' with letters rearranged gives 'prots'.
'mp' going within 'prots' is 'PROMPTS'.

'involving' is the link.
