Commonwealth Song Contest


I think everyone in the west is getting bored of the eastern blocks of political voting, so what do people think of this idea? All the countries in the commonwealth in a song contest, so it would also be expanding horizons, and hopefully no more tactical voting.

What do people think?

I don't think the Aussies would ever vote for us, even if we were represented by a fit Sheila with her kit off. And wouldn't we have to sit through about fifty loads of bongo bongo music. After that lot even Scooch would sound good.

That means we might win....

Nope. The Aussies and Kiwis hate our pommie guts. The Caribbean countries would vote for each other. The African countries would vote for each other. Good job Zimbabwe have been kicked out otherwise Mugabe would have everybody who gave them null points shot.

There will always be tactical voting. It's just how it is nowadays. What they should do is ban the countries from voting for others within a certain radius- although that is just a ridiculous suggestion- BUT the only one I can think of

Brainstorm!

I hate the way you exaggerate. You always make things 50,000 times worse!

Countries that end in A can't vote for others that end in A :D

What about if we stop countries voting for their friends by allowing them only to vote for countries that they have been at war with sometime in the last century. OK the Swiss would be buggered but serves them right for being serial pacifists.

Yes, how dare they

A Commonwealth Song Contest would be fun. I don't think Terry Wogam will go back next year. The political voting really pissed him off this year. I also don't think any more western contries should send acts. Let the Eastern Block have a contest. We send talent and we come in last because the countries breaking away from Russia, like Terry said. Want their oil and electric to flow from Russia so they vote for them
