When it comes to politicians, I'm not quite that sure. Over here

insane idea of messing up the clocks would bring anything but
useless hassle. I really wonder if there's some hidden lobby
which benefits from this crap or it's really just stupidity ;-O

Well daylight savings do make sense. The idea isn't as much to gain hours
in a day, we have 24 hours in a day. The idea is for the body to follow
the rhythm of the day. Noon is when the sun is at its highest. Depending
on how the sun is positioned in comparison to the earth. So it makes sense
with daylight savings, although it does mean that I go to school when it's
dark and come home after dark.
