Vote for Clair Butcher having power? (10)
I believe the answer is:
electrical
'power?' is the definition.
(electrical power is a kind of power)
'vote for clair butcher' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'vote' could be 'elect' and 'elect' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'clair' is 'rical' which is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'having' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for electrical that I've seen before include "Concerning current" , "Like goods with plugs" , "Concerned with current" , "Like some storms" .)
