One who opposes official policy (9)

I believe the answer is:

dissident

(Other definitions for dissident that I've seen before include "Opposer of official line" , "Political nonconformist" , "Protester" , "Person opposing official policy" , "Rebel, protestor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
