When is boring right-wing politician getting new cooker? (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

gas oven

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

'cooker?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'when is boring right-wing politician getting new' is the wordplay.
'when' becomes 'as' (eg 'when I walked' means 'as I walked').
'is boring' indicates putting letters inside (some letters must 'bore' a hole into other letters).
'right-wing politician getting' becomes 'gove' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'as' put within 'gove' is 'gasove'.
'gasove'+'n'='GAS OVEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gas oven that I've seen before include "Where roasting's likely" , "Type of cooker" .)
