Surely, if we voted to leave the EU, that must also count as getting out of Eurovision as well?
If not why not?

Presume that somehow the taxpayers pay for this, or TV licence payers .
Tis a competition in weirdness and musical mediocrity, although those girls from Abba were good

I think we should have a referendum to leave Eurovision then!

I thought they were going to change the way voting works to make it fairer system.
It's still good entertainment but pathetic how voting goes every year - Russia votes for Ukraine , Norway for Sweden, Etc etc.
We come almost last each year so Brexit won't make a hot of difference.

Hope to god that's the case, cannot believe that Farage never suggested that it would of been 60/40% to leave then.
We'll never win it again regardless of who sings and the quality of the song. The voting system is more rigged than Fifa

A school in Scotland wrote the Rumanian entry....so we could have a chance this year.
You can't argue with the UK viewing figures so suck it up you social snobs.
I do not watch it but recognise that it is very popular.

I think the UK could win if they send Adele, Robbie Williams or resurrect the Spice Girls. They have a pull all over Europe and the world.
Otherwise I don't think so. If you are from Eastern Europe or Scandinavia or from the Mediterranean countries you get to like a certain kind of music, which is played in your country, and the ones around you. That's what you vote for. I don't think the voting is that political, it's just that the UK is geographically fairly isolated, so the music selected for competition here is not spread out that much into other european countries.
There is the music that pulls all over the world, but if you are one of them, would you bother with Eurovision? Who is the last 'star' from any country participating?

Lulu did OK.....I loved Boom Bang a Bang.
Now we have our country back we should have Chas and Dave doing a follow up to Gerrtcha, bound to attract millions of votes.

I don't think it helps that as one of the "big 5" UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, we get a bye straight into the final.
My theory is that as the Semi-finals are a big thing in the rest of Europe, that the songs that get through to the final are already very familiar to the audience and as such they have already decided who they will vote for before hearing the big 5's songs. If you notice it is rare for one of the big5 to do well.
By the way, if you are wondering why we get a bye. It is because the big5 put most of the money in to fund the stupid contest.

i think if you are looking for the last STAR to be on the show it was the legend that is ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINCK,who scored us a huge total of next to bugger all.
the big names know they would be on a hiding to nothing so dont even give it a thought.
setting aside 2 of them are dead, But i reckon even if the Beatles reformed for Eurovision, we would still score no points.
