Means to support a Liberal every time (6)
I believe the answer is:
always
'every time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'means to support a liberal' is the wordplay.
'means' becomes 'ways' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to support' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters hold up others).
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'a'+'l'='al'
'ways' after 'al' is 'ALWAYS'.
(Other definitions for always that I've seen before include "Perpetually" , "At all times" , "whatever the circumstances" , "Forever, on every occasion" , "Whatever happens!" .)
