Stick given a Democrat at this point (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adhere

'stick' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a democrat at this point' is the wordplay.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'at this point' becomes 'here' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'d'+'here'='ADHERE'

'given' is the link.

(Other definitions for adhere that I've seen before include "Stick to as by suction" , "secure" , "Header (anag)" , "Cling, attach" , "Stick like a stamp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
