Party recalled destiny to fight case for democracy? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
ballot box
'case for democracy?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'party recalled destiny to fight' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'lab' (abbreviation for Labour).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'destiny' becomes 'lot' (I've seen this before).
'to fight' becomes 'box' (boxing is a kind of fighting).
'lab' backwards is 'bal'.
'bal'+'lot'+'box'='BALLOT-BOX'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ballot box that I've seen before include "Receptacle for election votes" , "System of voting" , "Where votes are placed" , "Voting slips container" , "Receptacle for voting slips" .)
