The EU parliament didn't vote to abandon DST, they voted for letting countries decide if they want to do DST or if they want to stick to one time zone. Apparently most countries decided to stick with DST.

On the other hand, if we had not saved daylight we would have probably ran out by now.

No. It's one hour too early.

Pick real time

And have to put up with Bill Maher? No thanks.

Man that would fucking blow for so many people.

The date would change in the middle of a business day

For me summer time (where we have light during the evening) is the best! Nothing comes even close to it

I really don't care, just stop the switching.

Depends which side of EU. Same time for Spain and Poland makes little sense.

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

In Iceland we have permanent Summer time and it's great. We go to work in the dark in either case during winter but having some daylight until 4 or 5 makes a big difference.

I think scientific research is quite clear that a permanent standard / winter time is healthier and objectively the better choice.

Personally, I'd still prefer a permanent summer/ daylight saving time. During summer, when days are long, I don't really care. But in winter it's usually still dark when I start working and already dark when I finish. With permanent summer time, it might be slightly harder to get up in the morning, but I could at least get a bit of light in the afternoon.
