How has the UK been routinely dicks? We never won when we were in the EU either.
Comment on UK's 'dismal' Eurovision song choices to be examined by MPs

Brits need to chill the fuck out when it comes to Eurovision. It’s a contest where you’re judged by the community, so when you’re routinely dicks to your neighbours you’re gonna lose… a lot. It has very little to do with the act on stage.

The UK/bbc is also one of the major funders so it gets an automatic place in the final. So merit is not nessassery in the opening.

Afghanistan and Iraq? Already dominating music industry? Being rubbish at languages because they all speak ours? Even in the EU, we were “Extrawurst” all the time. Denominating finance (partly with dark money).
Even before Brexit, we made ourselves unpopular.

They have a sizeable group of supporters in lots of European countries that will vote on them and no one else no matter what. There’s also a large group that will not vote on them no matter what, but group splits the vote between all the other contestants. So in general, Israel benefits from the polarisation.

The Israeli government also invests in marketing to encourage its citizens to vote in Eurovision.

That’s way better than they should have. They didn’t win the last one but I think there was a pretty recent one.
