So it's likely to become a chicken and the egg situation, the opposition parties won't go for an election until an extension is confirmed and the EU won't confirm an extension until the UK knows what its doing.
There's lots or reasons why a 12th December election would not be good for the Labour party, off the top of my head. Its just in time for university students to me going home for Christmas and it would be a happy coincidence for the Tories that its likely to disenfranchise lots of young people.
As I understand it, Labour only need to kick the election can down the road a week or so and then the election can't take place until some time in January which will improve things.
