Hm. 4.6M „voters“, and I know a couple of persons who were not able to vote due to server issues. I also doubt that the way the voting was setup was safe against the most basic manipulations (e.g. voting multiple times).
I’d say that this was not a representative poll. ;)
The top 3 countries by percentage of population voting were Germany (3.97%], Austria (2.94%) and Luxembourg (1.78%). Finland is 4th at 0.96%, the United Kingdom last at 0.02%.
I don’t see it happen quickly, though. Permanent daylight savings time may be good for Germany, but would it work for Spain? Large parts of it are west of London, but their clocks would be two hours ahead of it in winter. I could see it move to a different time zone, joining Portugal.
The Netherlands, France, Belgium and Luxembourg also might think different (although, for the smaller countries, following whatever the big neighbor does probably will be the way to go)
