It's Not Democracy

[Canary42]

Why are we participating in this nonsense. What do Brexiteers think of this betrayal of the democratic referendum. It will just mean more exposure to EU antipathy.

When we leave the European Union we are not leaving Europe, we cannot physically leave Europe! We will still be taking part in European events as we have always done, i.e. football, rugby, athletics. The Eurovision Song Contest is just another of those events...

What has the Eurovision Song Contest got to do with being a member of the EU?

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure what you're getting at. Chance to vote in a TV programme that is past it's sell-by date ?

is Australia competing again this year?

[Old_Geezer]

Their EU application is still under consideration.

[tonyav]

Would that be along with Israels application, OG ;-)

Well, my vote didn't win so I'm sulking.

[Mamyalynne]

It’s the EBU it the EU.
Perhaps we should have a song one year with that as the chorus: repeat ad nauseam

[ichkeria]

Not the EU :-)

Thank you, Canary. I thought it was funny. Perhaps some people missed that?
