The politician gets boat rides here? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
theme park
'rides here?' is the definition.
(a theme park might have rides)
'the politician gets boat' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MEP' (Member of European Parliament).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'boat' becomes 'ark' (ark is a kind of boat).
'the'+'mep'+'ark'='THEME PARK'
(Other definitions for theme park that I've seen before include "In recreational area" , "Amusement area" , "number of visitors here?" , "Area with rides, displays, etc" , "Eg, Alton Towers" .)
