Consequences of following subject in Washington? (9)
I believe the answer is:
aftermath
'consequences' is the definition.
(the aftermath of something is its consequences)
'following subject in washington?' is the wordplay.
'following' becomes 'after' (I've seen this in another clue).
'subject in washington?' becomes 'math' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after'+'math'='AFTERMATH'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aftermath that I've seen before include "Sequel" , "Situation following as consequence or result" , "Wake" , "Circumstances that follow an event" , "Consequential circumstances" .)
