My answer is a dual one. They shouldn't been allowed in the first place because they're not even in Europe. But maybe they're included because they're a Western-style nation on a close enough patch of Earth? Otherwise, we, Mexico and Canada demand we can participate.

I answered "Yes" because they're already allowed to participate. The festival is already heavily politicized and so nations protesting one another is a foregone conclusion. Let them opt out or whatever.

If we ever have an Americavision (continentally contrived), I will ask we can include the UK since technically y'all are like estranged parents. And so is Spain, I suppose...

You're more right than me, probably. I'm just a dumb American.

They are invited to be part of it because it’s popular in Australia (even though it’s on at like 4am for them)

We're kind of accustomed to that, though. Not the first time I've woken up to see something live in the UK. Daughter was still sleeping in same room when the Queen passed, so when she woke up we laid together on a pillow and watched the live procession...
