Israel continues rigging the phone votes again, I see. Eurovision will never learn.
neither australia, nor israel, should be in EUROvision, and that's before the genocide stuff is even taken into account.
Did Israel don't "we're terribly sorry we carpet bombed Gaza and convinced Trump to start a larger war in the Middle East, we'll try not to do it again" or something?
Not sure this qualifies as music.

UK slacking this year wtf
I dunno; one point is better than the UK usually gets.
UK never gets many points. They've been supremely unpopular since Brexit.
Eh. Not really true. Sam Ryder came second in 2022. And the UK has generally been bad since the 2000s
Yeah, fair. Brexit really didn't help though. And for a while the UK didn't help itself by submitting objectively awful entries.
So its not about the music, its a popularity contest? Like student council president?
Pretty much, yeah.
I mean a lot of people watch it for the music, and enjoy it for that. But mostly the voting ends up following political lines.
