My take on the Eurovision
Some say that the Eurovision is a poison chalice, and that maybe so. Moldova will always vote for Russia, for example. Perhaps they dont know where some other smaller countries are such as Ireland and consequently dont vote for them. However the same could be said for us all. Could you point out where Moldova, Azerbaijan or Macedonia are on the map!?
My point is that the Eurovision has strategic voting, plan and simple. The question that has been on my mind recently is:
How long will it take before Ireland is over taken as top winner?? The answer is a very very long time as Ireland has seven wins, according to the statistics
The trend clearly shows that Eastern European counties and Nordic countries are winning these days. Most countries in Eastern Europe have only one win, so it will take a very for them to catch up.
Don’t forget those Scandinavians! Norway and Sweden have 3 and 4 wins respectively. If each country wins scandinavian every ~10 years, which is the trend then it will take around ~30 years before the others catch up! But there is no certainty in this, and this presumes Ireland will not win the next 30 years! Is it a safe presumption?? I think so.
