Let's just stop this nonsense.
I'm not even attached to winter or summertime, but just stick to one instead of changing it every six months.

Step 1: Ask the people of Europe if they want to keep DST Step 2: Most of them say no but you keep it anyway Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit?
That poll really wasn't representative. Very few people even realised that it was happening or how to find it. If I remember correctly it was more of a German domestic political happening that somehow got elevated to EU level.
EU figured that they'd need to leave it up to the individual states to decide.
I think most people still want to stop changing time, but they don't necessarily agree on whether to keep normal time or daylight savings time.
Everyone is waiting for everyone else to set the new standar because no one wants wildly different time zones in Europe.
Unpopular opinion: Just get rid of time zones altogether and go with GMT.
We're in the 21st century, our lives don't need to be scheduled by the sun.
Why do we need more sun, in summer, in Australia.
Terrible, terrible, terrible choice of colors. This maps make it seem like only developed countries use light saving times...
