Two major political events coming up on Tuesday:
*Members of the 5-Star Movement in Italy will be able to vote on whether their parliamentary party should join a new coalition government with the center-left Democratic Party. If they vote no, the Government will collapse, and new elections will have to be called, which could lead to a far-right, anti-EU successor.
*British opposition and backbench Tory MPs will try to take control over the House of Commons agenda to push through a bill requiring the Government to seek another 3-month extension to Brexit, and prohibiting it from leaving without a deal. A loss by the Government will set the table for a possible election on October 14, just over 2 weeks before the current exit date.
So, it's a big day, and wouldn't you know it, I have to be away from most communications until well into nighttime across the Atlantic. *sigh*
