That said, I can see why this wouldn’t work across the entire EU, Spain for example is already “an hour behind” in terms of daylight, because of their location, their DST means it’s probably light outside at 22:00
Fun fact, so is France Netherlands and Belgium. They should be on British time if the lines were drawn properly.

Honestly, either way people and companies could adjust their hours to fit their needs.
Yes.
Permanent no-time-change time
It’s in the article
Eh often that’s said just to mean end switching, without specifying which one to end up on.
