EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Tabled by Richard Younger-Ross (Liberal Democrat) 15 signatures

The motion

That this House believes that voting in the Eurovision Song Contest has become a joke as countries vote largely on narrow nationalistic grounds or for neighbour countries rather than the quality of the song, and that such narrow voting is harmful to the relationship between the peoples of Europe; and calls for the BBC to insist on changes to the voting system or to withdraw from the contest.
