Political programme to reveal nothing (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manifesto

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'political programme' is the definition.
'manifesto' can be an answer for 'programme' (I have seen 'electoral programme' mean 'manifesto' so perhaps 'programme' could also mean 'manifesto'). I am not sure about the 'political' bit.

'reveal nothing' is the wordplay.
'reveal' becomes 'manifest' (I've seen this before).
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'manifest'+'o'='MANIFESTO'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manifesto that I've seen before include "statement of policy" , "Statement of policies" , "Written declaration of opinions" , "electoral programme" , "Political statement of intent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
