Party sentiment upset left wing social reformer? (2-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

do-gooder

'social reformer?' is the definition.
(someone who does good in society)

'party sentiment upset left wing' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'sentiment' becomes 'goo' (goo can mean sentimentality).
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'left wing' becomes 'red' (red can informally mean communist).
'red' written backwards gives 'der'.
'do'+'goo'+'der'='DO-GOODER'
