The rich and famous pigs at one with leader in government? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glitterati

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

'the rich and famous pigs' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'at one with leader in government?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'leader in government?' becomes 'glitter' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at'+'i'='ati'
'ati' after 'glitter' is 'GLITTERATI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glitterati that I've seen before include "Showbiz types" , "Rich, beautiful and fashionable celebs" , "Glamorous, rich and famous people?" , "Fashionable people" , "Celebrities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
