Politician amid vote I cite when agitated is vying with others? (11)
I believe the answer is:
competitive
'vying with others?' is the definition.
(to vie with others is to compete with them)
'politician amid vote i cite when agitated' is the wordplay.
'politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'amid' indicates putting letters inside.
'when agitated' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'vote'+'i'+'cite'='voteicite'
'voteicite' with letters rearranged gives 'coetitive'.
'mp' going within 'coetitive' is 'COMPETITIVE'.
'is' is the link.
(Another definition for competitive that I've seen is " Combative, vying".)
