..., a formality ...
Japan's parliament, the Diet, must still approve the budget, a formality given that Aso's Liberal Democratic Party is firmly in power. The vote is expected in January.
'a formality' means here 'the fact that the Diet must still approve the budget', right?
It looks like '....approve the budget, (which is) a formality, given ...', right?
Thanks.
