Stay on British Summer Time in 2020, we don't need the year to be an hour longer
There have been many petitions to get rid of the arcane act of adjusting our clocks twice a year and much scientific evidence presented to the house as to the savings to the economy if we were to stick on Summer Time. But frankly we really don't want another hour of 2020 so lets make it happen now.
We've been debating this for many years and our European neighbours voted on 27 March 2019 to abolish summer time. Let's harmonize practices but have us live perpetually in British Summer Time (+1 UTC).
There have been many attempted to stick to summer time (see 2005 Lighter Evenings Bill, Daylight Saving Bill 2010-2012 and the recent House of Lords EU Internal Market Sub-Committee).
But we're pretty much done with 2020 so no-one will object to it being 1 hour shorter. Now is this time to act.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
