Comment on Eurovision loses almost a quarter of UK viewers compared with 2023
Devi@kbin.social 1 month agoMaking a country win is way easier than making one lose. You'd have to put in enough votes for every country as you don't know how other countries will vote.
There's definitely been an organised plan for Israel, people have spoken about it openly on twitter

And there was an “organised plan” for Ukraine in 2022 insofar as people decided to vote for them regardless of their performance, which the few people who supported Russia in the conflict were probably pretty mad at, but couldn’t do anything to stop, just as people who support Palestine can’t do anything to stop Israel supporters here.
The reason Israel didn’t win is they have fewer supporters, but how Palestine’s supporters and frankly neutrals also are feeling is how Russia’s supporters and the smaller number of neutrals there felt… It’s impossible to keep politics out of this and it’s just a shame really

I think you're confused by what an organised plan is...

I think you’re attributing more to organisation than is deserved

But you somehow think people voting normally is organisation? But government led organisation isn't???

Honesty politics of some form happens at every euro v. We are always hearing about nations using votes to express their like or dislike for other nations.
It seems to just be a fact of life with this comp. Most just laugh it off in the media afterwards.
