Would someone parse 16 down for me please?

16. Odd, unlike MPs arriving to vote?

I have UNPAIRED which suggests odd, but where do the MPs come in?

Thanks!

MPs are paired when they CANNOT vote eg abroad.

The clue is wrong

Doesn't that mean that if they're here, arriving to vote, they're Unpaired?

yes , they arrive unpaired, thus unlike these = paired and therefore not odd

Thanks, jigjag , I see it now. I didn't give it any thought at the time, I just saw Odd = Unpaired!
