Erroneous reasons to include Thai representatives (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senators

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

'thai representatives' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'erroneous reasons to include' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senators that I've seen before include "Treasons (anag)" , "Members of the Upper House" , "Politicians" , "Legislators" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
