Delayed Brexit may be best for both UK and EU

Divorce can be costly, especially when there is no prenuptial agreement in place. The United Kingdom is finding this out the hard way as it tortuously tries to decouple itself from the European Union.

In the latest development, UK Prime Minister Theresa May has told Members of Parliament that she will give them three choices: approve the deal she has struck with the EU; vote to leave the bloc on March 29 without a deal; or ask the EU to delay Brexit by up to three months.

It is the first time that May has revealed to the public that the UK may stay within the EU for at least three more months, although March 29 is the date fixed for the formal divorce with the bloc.
