The findings come from a new poll carried out this month.

The nationally representative poll was carried out on Saturday 17 October, ahead of clocks going back on Sunday. However, last March the EU voted to scrap the system for 2021 – meaning EU states may have to decide whether they want to remain on permanent summer time or permanent winter time. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youSocial Democrats voters were the most likely to believe that the clocks should not go back, perhaps reflecting the views of the party’s co-leader Róisín Shortall, with 63% backing the idea.

Again 😱😤😭

Why on earth do we ask people about anything Let's pick the one where there is less fatalities... whether from car accidents or other reasons..

I want to be lighter in the evening

Er... bad headline... do the math in your own article that 31 + 20 = 51... that's 51% saying clocks SHOULD go back !!!!!!

Should put calendars back a month to shorten winter, and recoup the lost 6 Julian wks.

Nature is quite dramatic enough, don’t mess with it

Just shows you that two thirds of the population are selfish and thick they don't understand the reason behind the clock going back, would they really prefer it being dark when kids go to school, morons!!

Two thirds of people would want to focus on what's priority in their lives and stop giving out about nonsense

Yeah last thing we need is an extra hour of this bloody year 🙄

Are the clocks going back to the 1930's?

I Still don't know what it means , brighter, darker....what

Absurdity, just to keep in same timezone as Belfast

This was done back in the 60s. I remember going to school in the dark. Roads a lot safer then. The biggest worry though was that the cows might be confused for milking.

Who wants an extra hour of 2020?

What happens when the EU scrap daylight saving and those of us up north are sent to a different time zone post Brexit. Set your clock to 1690 at the border.
