I want the UK to be permanently one hour ahead of GMT.

What the petition asks
Being permanently one hour ahead of GMT would be good for business with the EU, we would have lighter evenings in winter and summer, it would save energy, reducing the UK's CO2 emissions, and there would be fewer road accidents. We should still keep BST which would be two hours ahead of current GMT.
