I agree. Where will it be held next year though?
Unless it is held in Ukraine, which is highly doubtful, the country won't get any of the much needed money that the Eurovision song contest generates within the country for the hospitality and transport sectors. |

"I don’t get how you can get 400 points from a public vote. Did they explain how the public vote works?
As it just seems a way to rig the contest to me.
40 countries eligible to cast votes. Each country can give 12 points to one country (apart from themselves). That's how it works. "
That’s not how the public vote works though. We were winning until the public votes were added. |

Each country that takes part tots up their viewers votes and a then allocates them in the usual manner of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 & 12.
With roughly 40 countries taking part if they all gave 12 points to Ukraine, that amounts to 480..... |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
The maximum possible from the public vote is 468, and Ukraine got pretty close to the maximum with 431. |

It was a good song. So what if they won out of sympathy, they deserve it and need a little boost. |

It is. There's a jury vote, points from 1-12. Then the public vote is separately points from 1-12 added on in bulk rather than being talked through separately.
When they changed the voting system in 2016, the total number of points being achieved went up massively because they separated out the jury and public votes. Before, the jury and public vote was smushed in together. |

To be honest I actually remembered them and Spain in her pants. No song actually stood in my head.
Not like other years

Exactly this, we just can't begrudge them the win and let's face it, this is the best the UK has done in 10 years so we really can't complain |
