In the USA, it is the golfing lobby that keep it going... more daylight
for people to spend money playing... and to some extent the beer and liquor
lobby... more time after work for people to party and drink.

The golfing industry is also one of the lobbys trying to get it instituted
year-round in the USA.  It is no coincidence that the most vocal political
advocate is a known lover of the game.  ;)

The reason the USA extended DST into Novemeber was the candy lobby, who
thought that more daylight on Halloween would mean more money.  From what I
have heard, they have made a bundle off of the extension as October candy
sales did indeed go up.
