Political meeting needed if new cabinet comes apart? (8)
I believe the answer is:
assembly
'political meeting' is the definition.
'assembly' can be an answer for 'meeting' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'political' bit.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assembly that I've seen before include "Gathering of people or fitting of parts together" , "Flock" , "Gathering of people for a common purpose" , "Bless May (anag.)" , "Meeting or fitting of parts together" .)
