Make GMT the standard time zone all year round


Make GMT the standard time zone all year round
The Issue
My name is Stefano Pavone, and I am the founder of an anti-daylight saving movement called Solar Time.
Make GMT the standard time zone year-round.
Help put an end to the pointless biannual clock-switching ritual, as it serves no practical or logical purpose and is actually detrimental to people's health and wellbeing. Solar Time has been active since 2019 and is allied with the International Alliance for Natural Time or IANT.
People are tired of this futile twice-yearly action, as it has no advantages for their physical or mental health, particularly since there is a large section of the population with social anxiety and/or people working inconsistent shifts. The most egregious example of this is in the United States, where many states risk having permanent DST, and their residents are suffering greatly from its side-effects, including unnatural darkness and an increase in dangerous driving and/or RTAs.
Countries like Iran and Mexico have dispensed with this practice recently, and indeed, many Eastern nations such as Japan and China have never used it because of its drawbacks outweighing its perceived benefits. Full-time year-round GMT would prevent this from happening in the UK.
Now is the time to act because people's health is at stake. If left until the end of March in the event of the self-imposed clock-change, then it'll be too late.
