I like daylight savings. Gives another point of semi-regularity to my year.

But is the time change even needed? What purpose does it really serve? There are lots of stories about it rooted in wartime/economy etc. But these things do not seem to be valid anymore. And are they worth the collective cost?
I have to say I prefer light later in the day though.
Agreed. I do like the petition's approach: simply no time shifting during the year. Whether it stays DST all year long (my preference) or "standard time" is to be decided.
