Hi PS.

Not sure whether there's some wordplay in the 'tariff' clue that I'm not seeing. However ...

One meaning of 'tariff' is 'a governement tax on imported goods'. Right-wing governments just don't like taxes. Therefore a tariff is unlikely to exist in a right-wing government's economy.

Not sure about this one.( Tariff) put it up on the site but have no real idea why its right to be honest.

P.S sorry bit squiffy last night so unintentionally repeated someone elses answer

I think it should be Thrift

like it but why

oh!

I thought that Pooksahib had provided us with the answers published by the crossword-setter.

JimC

This is not provided => TH
Right= RI
Economy = FT (financial Times)

Obscure

I may be wrong but am sure have seen it answered as thrift (sorry to confuse)

Hi Roy.

If 'thrift' = economy
and 'th' = 'This is not provided'
then 'rift' would equate somehow to 'in the right'?

JimC

Am convinced you are right Mamya, but just not sure why

Ok !

'thrift' = economy

'th' = 'This is not'
'if' = 'provided'
'rt' = 'right'.
