To be fair, the polling went largly unnoticed (at least in France). I discovered it by chance in the middle of summer, shortly before it got closed.

Then the results were published and a few people were pissed off for not having been informed.

OTOH, it would have had been a discussion for 20 years otherwise.

I am happy we just have one tole shift left (to move to summer time, yay for me because I am on the western edge of a timezone)
