I’m curious on the mental gymnastics involved in claiming that an organisation holding a vote to make a decision is somehow crooked. Like, that’s what democratic organisations are supposed to do, rather than acting without consultation.
I feel like this gets asked often. There are several countries that aren’t in Europe but that currently participate in Eurovision: Israel, Cyprus, Armenia, and Australia.
The contest is organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which is made up of various broadcasters from countries across Europe and beyond. The BBC is a member of the EBU, as is RTE in Ireland, Rai in Italy, SVT in Sweden and so on. There are 73 member stations from more than 56 countries, and they’re entitled to send acts to Eurovision if they wish.
So as long as a nation has a broadcaster that operates inside the EBU, they’re allowed to enter.
Good! This will align us with the same planned EU rules.
FYI this is an msn repost of a GB News piece (the UK’s version of Fox News), so is extremely biased.
Or else they’ll say ‘stop’ again, but quieter
