Eurovision III

Another thing we discussed last night related to the relative size of the nations involved. Andorra has a population of 72,000, Germany a population of over 80,000,000. Andorra can allocate as many points as Germany, meaning an Andorran vote is worth over 1,100 German votes.

Can we use this to our advantage? What if we sent songs in for each of our nations and regions instead of a UK entry? What if we had a Welsh song, a Scottish song, a Northern Irish entry, and an English one?

That way, we’d also get the opportunity for separate Welsh, Scottish, Northern-Irish and English allocations of points. It could make all the difference.

We thought about this for a bit and eventually decided England would probably still end up bottom of the league table, as allowing our nations to vote separately would probably encourage them to vote for anyone but us.
