Elected representative showing leg? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

member

I believe this is a double definition.

'elected representative' is the first definition.
(eg Member of Parliament)

'leg?' is the second definition.
(leg is a kind of member)

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for member that I've seen before include "constituent" , "Elected person" , "A body part or kind of participant" , "someone with a club" , "Part of the body - or of society group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
