Well, it's a million signatures for something to be brought up, not for something to definitely become law.

A decade or so ago I (among millions) signed to abolish daylight saving time. Still waiting for that heh.

The daylight saving time shit is such a fucking fumble from the EU. We have an instance of direct democracy, we have EU politicians parading around saying “we’re gonna end it” and then absolutely nothing happens. Council points fingers at Commission, Commission points fingers at Council. “It’s their job.” How am I as an EU citizen supposed to be proud of being part of this dysfunctional mess?

It's easy talking points during elections but requires lengthy legal procedures and thus gets chopped immediately. Politicians gonna be politicians. Better to be talking about the time of day than some other dog whisle.

		It's also been "abolished" many times around the world, then quickly reinstated when kids start dying.

Trump's said he wants to end it. That's something I'd back him on. I wish he'd sign that executive order and tilt that windmill in the courts instead of the stuff he is pushing. I'd be rooting for him!

		Trump promises a lot of things, while also promising others their polar opposite or flipping 180° once in office. If you'd back a politician with a track record that bad on any promise, that is probably something telling more about you than the politician.
