No right to be negative! (3)

I believe the answer is:

nor

'be negative' is the definition.
('nor' is an example of a negative)

'no right' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'no'+'r'='NOR'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nor that I've seen before include "Negative word" , "Neither pairing" , "Common conjunction, goes with neither" , "And not either" , "Word paired with "neither"" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
