'the most dangerous' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'democrat here is french' is the wordplay.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'here' becomes 'ici' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is french' becomes 'est' ('is' in French).
'd'+'ici'+'est'='DICIEST'
