Eurovision Song Contest
EDM number 1453 in 2006-07, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 14/05/2007.
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.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
