Do you really think people from ireland vote like that?

This annoys me, especially when Louis says it all the time. Would YOU vote for someone just because they were from england? Would you refrain from voting for someone because they were from Ireland? Of course you wouldnt.

Yeah..

Cher's from Malvern which is near me, that's part of the reason I wanted her to win even, probably wouldn't have voted as much if she hadn't lived so close.. she'd have still been my favourite though anyway if that makes sense :/

The majority of acts are from England though, Ireland is never represented very well comparitively, and if they only have one act in the competition it will make them more inclined to back them because she is essentially their sole representative

Well theres me proven wrong then...didnt think people were petty enough to vote just based on where the acts come from...surely talent means something too?!

Joe lived like 10mins away from me and I supported Danyl, as did most other people from where I lived at the time

Well tbh, thats quite sad. Its not the country winning the show, its the contestants, and people should not get support based on where they are from.

No but I think they would like it if a winner came from their country because it's something to relate to. I'm no fan of Andy Murray but, as a Brit, it's nice to see him do well in tournaments even though he's not officially representing any particular country

Both Cher and Liam from OD are from near me,but I voted for who I thought best and that was Matt.The only time I ever voted like that was in BB1 with Craig but he was actually a friend so a bit different I think.

Some might if a British person was competing in a foreign country. There have been British and Irish people on American Idol in the past, if British people could have voted I'm sure they would have attracted votes.

Also Irish and Scottish people seem more passionate about their country than the Brits.

As an Irish person here is my honest opinion on it. When an Irish person gets on one of these shows (X factor or BB) I always hope I will like them cos yeah I do want them to do well and they do, to a certain extent, represent the country in that particular show but I never vote for them just because they're Irish. Me wanting them to be good and them actually being good are two different things. And I can honestly say, hand on heart, that the only time my favourite was an Irish person and I actually voted for that person was Brian Dowling from BB and that was because he genuinely was my favourite. I thought Mary was good and I'm glad she did so well but she wasn't my favourite and I didn't vote for her, in fact out of the people I know here in r/l none of them voted for her or had her as their favourite.
