Welcome subject of discussion – ask if vote helped out (5,2,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
speak of the devil
'welcome subject of discussion' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'ask if vote helped out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'ask'+'if'+'vote'+'helped'='askifvotehelped'
'askifvotehelped' anagrammed gives 'SPEAK OF THE DEVIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
