I’m curious on the mental gymnastics involved in claiming that an organisation holding a vote to make a decision is somehow crooked. Like, that’s what democratic organisations are supposed to do, rather than acting without consultation.
When you watch Eurovision and especially the vote castings in the competitions, you’ll know why people can’t expect anything great from this…
A few years back they announced votes for some nations, based on what they expected them to vote, because they felt that the actual votes were suspicious… Without even saying that they were not the real votes sent in by those nations.
Then you have the viewer votes for the competitions that often get overturned by the expert panels
So Eurovisions calling for a vote is almost sarcasm
It’s the mental gymnastics of emotional reactionism. The heart is in the right place, but they see an injustice and feel something needs to be done now.
