Was recreated politician for waterlogged area (5)
I believe the answer is:
swamp
'waterlogged area' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'was recreated politician' is the wordplay.
'recreated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'was' is an anagram of 'swa'.
'swa'+'mp'='SWAMP'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for swamp that I've seen before include "Boggy area" , "Mire" , "Seasonally flooded low land" , "Boggy ground" , "Boggy land" .)
