Way to disregard liberal viewer's complaint (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stye

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'viewer's complaint' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'way to disregard liberal' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'to disregard liberal' becomes 'ye' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'st'+'ye'='STYE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stye that I've seen before include "Eyelid sore" , "It pains viewer" , "Tamworth residence" , "Observer's problem" , "nasty spot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
