It must be difficult to work out what the UK needs to do to get in the higher placings in this contest now.

I guess we can only hope for the best but expect little now,after all it is not only the Eastern bloc countries who don't give the UK reasonable or even any votes.
Even close neighbours like France rarely throw any votes our way.

Bonnie Tyler may just succeed where others have failed so badly in recent years.
Having said that if Blue could only come where they did, then we are always now likely going to be one of the also rans near permanently.

I doubt we would ever get a really big star on the current scene to even want to do Eurovision now unlike the past.
An act like One Direction, who for instance have stormed to success all over the place are an act that would likely pull in the votes for Eurovision but probably wouldn't even consider entering.
