    Eurovision is political and economical
    Lots of countries are not participating because it's too expensive
    Why is it like that?
    Why is EBU Not trying to help and include more countries?

    A good rule is "the country that wins must be able to host if they win". So what they did in 2023 when they let the UK host for Ukraine, should not have to happen. Instead, Ukraine wouldn't be in the contest until it's safe to host there. Same thing applies to Israel

      Would that rule have resulted in Russia being excluded in 2022?

      @@tonyttt31 I’d say the EBU would simply have to decide if it’s safe and if they have brains they would ban ukraine, russia and israel

    Does that mean that we will FINALLY get rid of Ukraine in the contest? They are a part of a military conflict and their songs since 2016 have been extremly political and nobody is saying anything. They even won 2 times with heavilly political songs. Even this year their performance was very political. Why are there so many double standards with Ukraine in this contest? Throw them out!

      Because Russia is always a bad guy and poor Ukraine must win a song contest to feel better.

      Tell me you know nothing about Eurovision without telling me that you don’t know anything about Eurovision .
      2017, 2018, 2021 and even 2022 had no political messages whatsoever
      As for both 2023 and 2024 both has no political intention as well
      So what’s your point of this ranty comment.

    I’m sorry but this HoD has been on my nerves lately; they cried about changing the voting percentage split and guess what their song needed the jury the most yet they ended last at east with points again t thanks to the juries.
