Lobby politician – Hunt? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

concourse

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

'lobby' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'politician hunt?' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'con'.
'hunt?' becomes 'course' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'con'+'course'='CONCOURSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for concourse that I've seen before include "Open area through which people pass as at railway terminus" , "crowd" , "part of airport" , "spacious area?" , "Meeting place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
