UK to hold election on Dec 13, Brexit uncertainty remains

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally won his bid for early election yesterday by 438-20 votes in the Commons. The bill will now be passed to the House of Lords. LibDems and SNP abstained as their motion for elections on December 9 was rejected. Election will be held on December 12 and early results should be know on the next day. While the chance of no-deal Brexit has further diminished, it’s still unknown if UK will finally leave the EU on the next Brexit deadline on January 31. After the elections, Johnson might have majority to push through the deal, or Labour could take over the government and then renegotiate the deal before another referendum. Or, no party would win conclusively and Brexit deadlock would continue.
