Political principle, Keir's first added to road map? (5)

I believe the answer is:

plank

(Other definitions for plank that I've seen before include "Strip of timber" , "Wooden board" , "Long piece of wood" , "Long flat timber" , "Proverbially thick piece of wood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
