Political Voting

The voting is a complete joke:

• After all songs were performed, viewers in all 42 participating countries could vote by making a phone call and/or sending an SMS for their favorite song(s). You were allowed to vote up to 20 times, but you couldn't vote for your own country
• Each country then gave 12 points to the most popular entry, 10 points to the second most popular, then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points
• Professional juries in all 42 countries vote as well. Just like the televoters, each jury in each country then gave 12 points to the most popular entry, 10 points to the second most popular, then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points
• The televoting results and the jury results were then merged per country. Each result counts for 50%
• Spokespersons in all 42 countries read out the merged results, giving 12 points to the most popular entry, 10 points to the second most popular, then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points

So when all is said and done it's not really a public vote at all, it's 50% to do with these so called "Professional Juries"

 

You can find out how the voting went per country, here is how the UK voted:

Note that the public voted Poland (for the tay tays) but the jury put them last so we gave them nul points. The jury probably consists of a load of frustrated tree-hugging old bags such as Germaine Greer. Typical BBC loony lefty bias.

Exact same thing in Oirland, tay tays: a shared British Isles interest.

 

Poland won or top 3 in public vote but near bottom in jury vote in Holland, France, Norway... bit of a pattern here.

 

Eurovision is a celebration and promotion of homosexuality

 

You must have had a fabulous weekend then

 

It's a disgrace - as was Nortons continual insinuation that anyone who didn't give Austria the points was doing it out of homophobia rather than any musical reason.

 

Dan,we've matured as a nation and don't get involved in pettiness and we tend to vote for the better of all our European comrades!

 

But where's the fun in that?

 

Guess which song I just heard on my Tranny?

 

The tranny on yer tranny?

 

Aye, and it was canny, that tranny on my tranny, quite uncanny.

 

More than a woman?

 

Luck Be a Lady Tonight?

 

Ya fanny.

 

Lola.

 

How must all the guys who kissed her/him felt? I mean, I can imagine giving a decent looking tranny a wee kiss on the cheek as a celebration, but with this what's the script? You would'nt give a lumberjack a peck on the face so why the **** were people kissing her/him?

 

You've been giving that way too much thought.

 

I'm a deeply phiosophical individual.

Surely to **** they can't all be, the crowd maybe but all the other acts and presenters can't all be rug munchers and benders?

 

They all just wanted to see what it was like.
