It is friends voting for friends. Do what Ireland done for years. We sent a turkey one year. Two turkeys in Jedward the following year. We were sending our worse songs. People lost interest in the Eurovision. Though this year we have a song with a difference. A gay love song. Russia refused to broadcast it on the semi-final night. It will have the support of the gay community around Europe. Good to be different. People simply refuse to vote for the UK out of protest. Like they blame them and the US for various wars based on lies. They start giving the UK no points. Is all neighbours voting for each other these days. Once upon a time Ireland could not stop winning the thing. So much so we could not afford to host it any more. Hence the years of sending bad songs begun.
