  it would mean breaking up the bbc and setting up national broadcasters.. it will seem strange to hear the scottish results.. 8 points goes to our neighbours wales.. 10 points to our dear friends in northern ireland.. and finally 12 points go to sweden...

  The funny thing about this is that the Celtic nations would form a voting bloc and exclude England

  Why do the small UK countries keep going on about exclusion? Would it be fair or indeed a fair representation of the UK if England with a population of 44 million people were sidelined for someone from the three nations who between them make up the remaining 16 million people?
  
  Surely the best person to represent the UK is the person with the song, the ability and the willingness to do it. Regardless of where they come from.
  
  It's almost like everyone says "Oh look, it's someone from England again!" Well, the odds favouring that probability are stacked highly when you consider that's where most people in the UK live!

  Yes, and then England should withdraw.
