scrap Greenwich Mean Time and adopt a European time zone.

Last I checked, GMT was a European time zone (which also includes Protugal and Ireland). And Jersey is not voting about "a" but one specific other timezone.

(My own thinking: geographically, it would make more sense if Spain, France and the BeNeLux states would join GMT.)

Definitely: Barcelona is just 2° East of the Greenwich meridian.
