    As a german, I’d prefer permanent daylight time, I want there to be longer light in the evening. I hate when during the winter months I leave the appartment when it is still dark outside and come back home when it’s already dusk.

    That said, I can see why this wouldn’t work across the entire EU, Spain for example is already “an hour behind” in terms of daylight, because of their location, their DST means it’s probably light outside at 22:00

      Fun fact, so is France Netherlands and Belgium. They should be on British time if the lines were drawn properly.

      The reason they’re on German time? Nazis. They’re were switched to German time while occupied during WW2, and while debate raged afterward they ultimately stayed on German time.
