I hate the changes of the clock between summer and winter times.
I never really understood how it is possible to save electricity with it, and as I read, lately it does not even do that, because our lives and the way we use electricity changed so much.
Being the owl type, the one who can hardly function in the mornings, while I hate dark, and the fact that , especially because of this change, it gets so dark so early in winter time, so, if we would ever have the chance to say which time-zone should we stay in, I would definetly vote for the summer (saving) time.

I'm 100% with you and hope we get to have a say on dropping this nonsense.
I think the 'extra hour in bed' in the autumn is the seductive thing that keeps it going. Personally I find that I pay for that by feeling like crap for a couple of weeks, hating the darker evenings and then pay for it again in the spring when the clocks go forward.
This is the third year I've refused to take part. I simply continue as I was with my clocks showing the same time as before, having my meals, rising and retiring at the same times. (In my case I simply have to tell your phone and computers that I'm in the Hamburg time zone and that works.)
I find that (except for the very darkest time around the solstice) it's light when I get up and for me it gets dark an hour later than it does for everyone else.
I don't know why my friends and family are reluctant to join me. It's not that difficult. You just have to remember to add the hour if you're meeting someone, or if you do anything regularly like go to work or whatever, just accept that you're starting and finishing those things an hour later than before. It all works and I recommend it.
let's hope for a referendum on this.
