Compromise? Time ticking down for Britain to come to Brexit agreement

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's government held out the possibility of compromise on Sunday with the opposition Labour Party to try to win support in parliament for leaving the European Union with a deal, just days before the latest Brexit date.

Prime Minister Theresa May, weaker than ever after her Brexit deal was rejected by parliament three times, has been forced to turn to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn after giving up on winning over eurosceptics in her Conservative Party, whose opposition has hardened.

With Britain's departure now set for April 12, May's government is running out of time to get a deal through Britain's divided parliament, and must come up with a new plan to secure a new delay from EU leaders at a summit on Wednesday.

Britain's biggest shift in foreign and trade policy in more than 40 years is mired in uncertainty, with ministers saying Brexit may never happen, businesses worried the country could leave without a deal, and others just wanting to reverse it.

1. i don't understand why they got the first extension. if i were in the EU i sure wouldn't

give them another one. The UK committing economic suicide is only to my benefit if i want those businesses to move to Germany, France, etc.......

3. A hard Brexit is fairly bad for the EU too

It'll be really bad for Ireland - its economy needs to be able to export to (and import from) the UK easily. And it doesn't want border security with Northern Ireland, which will become a terrorist target.

It's not good for the other countries either - they have industries that send good to and from the UK, that would get held up, and more expensive, in new customs checks and tariffs. Yes, some parts would benefit by attracting financial business, but overall, economists think it would hurt them all - though only Ireland would be as hurt as much as the UK.

It's not a zero sum game.
