Carry on as it is now?

My vote goes to GMT and stick with it as I think most people would
vote.

I'll vote that way too. The real solution would be to make the day
more exact as the year progresses. I think that means the clocks
should adjusted by -3.945 seconds every day for part of the year but
sticking to GMT is nearly as good.

As we are on the subject of time when was the hour/min/second adopted,
why is it so universal? The current calender is relatively modern, and
the beginning of the new year varies in different countries. So when was
our way of recording the time adopted, is it universal? Incidentally GMT
is no longer the standard for time, as with lots of other things the
Yanks have high-jacked it.

Nowadays GMT is referred to a UTC.

Only by USAnians, who hate the fact of GMT referring to Greenwich, ie
England. To them, Universal means American. They think they are the centre
of the universe.

The words "the centre of" are superfluous.
