On Thursday, the European Parliament voted 384-152 to pass a nonbinding
resolution calling for the European Commission to re-evaluate the current system
of daylight saving time in Europe. An article about this and how it's entangled
with European politics can be found here:
Yeginsu C. Daylight saving time: what's it good for? European lawmakers ask. New
York Times. 2018-02-09.

My favorite quote is about the UK Daylight Saving Bill 2010-12. Yeginsu writes:
"That bill was met with fierce resistance in places like Scotland, where
residents argued that they liked the afternoon gloom just fine."
