I liked Switzerland so am happy.
I'd have preferred Croatia but fine by me.

How it started:

Olly Alexander vowed to represent “fly the flag for the UK in the gayest way possible” and
“put on an unforgettable performance” at the contest in Malmo, Sweden

How its going:

Olly Alexander found out the public had awarded him null points.

The 33-year-old represented the UK with his track Dizzy, and while votes from the jury
appeared positive on Saturday night (11 May), the singer sadly received no points from
the public.

The UK only got 9 votes from the public last year and only 15 from the juries.
The UK is not in the bottom 3 this year
The UK didn't get no points at all.

The UK with probably only a couple of exceptions is usually in the bottom 3.
Far less votes than in the 40s too.

It's not a good result but it's far better than you and others in the media predicted.

I never expect a really good result for the UK no matter who represents us.
The UK is seen negatively worldwide on many issues and therefore gets overlooked in competitive voting circles.

Countries that gave Israel 🇮🇱 10+ points in #Eurovision2024 👇

The entire people of Europe 🇪🇺 are against the pro-Palestinian Jihadist mob. They deserve
better leaders who reflect their voices.

Again, as there was no "vote Palestine" option, the one side represented in the world's current most divisive issue receiving a high proportion of public votes is statistically meaningless when trying g to assess public opinion. There was no counter-vote. You can conclude that support for Israel is high - you cannot however conclude that support for Israel is higher than support for Palestine.

That's not a political statement either - it just a basic understanding of the vote and statistics.

What has this got to do with the Swiss kid winning Eurovision?

In Europe, I will guess that the support for Israel is the majority.

The Gulf regions of Asia + the Middle East will be more pro-Palestine.

I would also guess that chunks of Africa would also be more pro-Palestine.

And the Americas I will guess are more pro-Israel.

I'm sorry for the longwinded post, I was just wondering if anyone thinks that my guesswork is close to the mark?

Depends. Overall if you were to poll the public (properly not on SoMed) then I would say most likely yes. In terms of a Eurovision vote though and the demographic of the voter base on Eurovision specifically, I reckon if Palestine had a Eurovision entry they would have topped the public vote by a significant margin.
