Should we stop the clocks going back?

16 August 2010

Poll started 17 August 2010: Should we stop the clocks going back? The PM's said the govt will consider keeping the clocks at British Summer Time all year round. This'd mean darker winter mornings but more daylight in the evenings. As there's often talk about the impact on Scotland we've split the voting out. Which of these is closest to your view?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
