Eurovision Song Contest (No. 2)
EDM number 1679 in 2007-08, proposed by David Amess on 03/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Arts, Broadcasting and Performing arts.
That this House believes that the Eurovision Song Contest is no longer a music contest, but is more about politics than about talent; and feels with great sadness that the time has now come when the United Kingdom should withdraw from the contest until it is properly re-established on a basis which attracts the very best songs and judges those songs regardless of a country's political allegiances.
This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
