Given to change yet preventing its political implementation (7)
I believe the answer is:
vetoing
'preventing its political implementation' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'given to change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'given'+'to'='givento'
'givento' anagrammed gives 'VETOING'.
'yet' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for vetoing that I've seen is " Rejecting a proposal made by a lawmaking body".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
