Glasgow and Eurovision 2023
The motion
That the Parliament regrets that the Russian invasion means that Ukraine is unable to host the Eurovision song context in 2023, despite winning the competition; believes that, if the UK is to host Eurovision 2023 as the 2022 runner up, Glasgow would make the ideal host city; further believes that, as a city of culture, Glasgow can best embody the unity, strength, and resilience that it considers Ukraine has shown since the conflict began; believes that people truly do make Glasgow, and notes the view that Glasgow’s communities need to be part of the planning process if the city is chosen as the host of Eurovision 2023, to ensure that the event meets its potential.
