Social pint I arranged for elected officials (11)

I believe the answer is:

politicians

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

'elected officials' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'social pint i arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator (letters rearranged).
'social'+'pint'+'i'='socialpinti'
'socialpinti' with letters rearranged gives 'POLITICIANS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
