  Hello again, solvers, and thanks for trying your hand at a slightly-larger-than-usual cryptic puzzle. Hopefully you found your way to the correct solution, in which case I hope you'll jab the like button above and drop me a comment to let me know how you got on.

  I'm going to get it in the neck for some of these down clues, I'm certain of it. (And deservedly so, I might add.)

  ACROSS. 1A. anag. CITE contained in "Musk" = EL(ECTI)ON + "revolutionary phase" = DAY. 7A. anag. AFFAIR. 8A. Last letters of "undemocratic so you stop". 9A. anag. TRIFLE + first letters of "is that yours". 11A. anag. TENNISASS. 13A. reversal of "reservations" = BUTS. 14A. crypticish def. 15A. "Men" = GENTS, containing: "done with" = OVER + external letters of "nihilism" = NM.

  DOWN. 2D. "Meadow" = LEA + first letter of "flower". 3D. Spoonerize "candy wire" = TOFFEE CABLE. 4D. Homophone of "internal conflict" = INNER TENSION. 5D. anag. LACONICSAGE. 6D. remove first letter of "empty-headedness" = VACUITY. 10D. Double def. 12D. "dribble" = RUN + last letter of "halt".
