I agree with you.

I was just pointing out that it's wrong to say this this decision had ample consultation, because overwhelmingly the population is not aware of it.

Selection effect. Those who really cared about this commented.

But what about the 99% rest of population? It's a mistake thinking that because they dont realllly care they will accept either way.

Resistance to change is huge, especially when it plays into the narrative "Bruxelles demanded it"

And what I meant by lack of popular consultation is that if you go on EU streets and ask about this change 95% of people will have no idea what you are talking about.

For once pretty much no one is aware of this supposed change. There was like a couple of articles on the day it was voted and that's it.

This will 100% not happen, it's another one of those things that the EU parliament votes that everyone ignores, and it's perfect ammunition for those complaining that it makes laws without popular consultation.

Trying to go forward with this change will generate massive anti EU backlash.

And then you have the UK problem. Having variable time offsets between EU and UK would add yet another layer of disruption on top of Brexit.
