Motion for Public Voting on our Eurovision Representative
A motion to change the way we currently select our yearly representative to the Eurovision Song Contest
Recognising:
That the United Kingdom is a global music powerhouse, with 6 out of the top 10 world wide best selling artists being British and 1 in 7 albums sold worldwide last year being British
That we are amongst the top 5 contributors to the European Broadcasting Union which runs Eurovision
That we have performed dismally in recent years, having come 25th, 19th, 17th and 24th out of ~25 countries in the Eurovision Final
Calling Upon:
The BBC to introduce a Eurovision selection competition, similar to that of Sweden's (the most successful country at Eurovision) Melodifestivalen
