UK to vote on 12 December

With EU granting yet another extension (Fourth Inline) the prospect of the UK leaving the EU has turned even gloomy. If we measure the expenses incurred on running special parliamentary sessions for Brexit, exorbitant amount of media coverage and valuable resource utilisation by the Global Trade Companies, it will amount to billion of dollars. Imagine a situation when Brexit never happens and the general election or second referendum mandates UK to remain in EU, the above expenditure would add fuel to the fire in the slowing world economy. #brexit

EU leaders have agreed in principle to extend Brexit until 31 January 2020 - meaning the UK will not leave as planned on Thursday. EU Council President Donald Tusk said it was a "flextension" - meaning the UK could leave before the deadline if a deal was approved by Parliament. It comes as MPs prepare to vote on proposals by Boris Johnson for an early general election on 12 December. The SNP and Lib Dems have also proposed an election on 9 December. The government has not ruled out getting behind that proposal date, if it fails to get its preferred date through the Commons later. #BBCNews #Brexit

With a three month extension to Art.50 confirmed by the EU, the SNP and Lib Dems seem to have outmaneuvered Labour into supporting a general election. From an Irish perspective, Varadkar has a huge decision to make. If he calls a snap election, the Irish poll (probably 29 Nov) will be before the UK results and he can campaign hard on the prospect of a Tory win and continued brexit uncertainty. However, if the Tories lose the UK GE, there will be a "remain" friendly Gov in No.10 and the good work of FG on Brexit will not be as important anymore as the chances of the UK leaving the EU will reduce significantly. Big calls ahead and an exciting build up to Christmas.

This morning, the E.U. agreed to give the U.K. a Brexit extension until January 31. Will the decisive vote on the future of Brexit finally fall to the people of the U.K.? (Follow GZERO Media for more.)
