Give Irish the vote and watch the twins loose

Give the Irish the vote and watch the twins loose, you know why?, simply because the irish would vote them out because they wouldn't want Ireland to become a laughing stock.

Your theory has a big flaw............ it is not a vote to evict!

This is X-Factor, not Big Brother.

Anyway, Louis has called for Ireland to be allowed to vote; see here.

Or God forbid, a nation which has a sense of humour and appreciates good entertainment, qualities which the OP sadly lacks.

Actually the majority love them over here and most of us are really proud of them.

Amazingly enough, Irish people are individuals... some of them like Jedward and some don't. They don't meet up en masse and decide who votes for whom...

I don't know why there is any kind of uproar at people in the Republic of Ireland not being able to vote. The French don't vote on Spanish tv shows. The Germans don't vote on Dutch tv shows and the British don't vote on Irish tv shows. Why on earth should the Irish vote on British tv shows?

Do they pay the TV Licence fee in Republic of Ireland?

Well if the twins are kicked off this weekend Paddy Power bookies are giving money back on all losing bets on the ireland v france world cup qualifier. Say a prayer the twins are kicked off + Ireland qualify for the World Cup!

The match + XFactor are on at the same time Will have to record one....!

The X Factor and the Xtra Factor are simulcast live on Irish TV (and are enjoying huge TV ratings).

They may pay some kind or Irish tv licence fee for their own tv channels. I can't imagine they pay the UK one.

and that's great but it doesn't change the fact that it's a UK show.

The licence fee only goes to the BBC. It does not subsidise X-Factor, which is on ITV, in any way.

I certainly hope Paddy Power don't end up refunding! Jedward to progress and Ireland to go to South Africa!

The Irish don't vote anyway and the twins are still there, so your theory doesn't even make sense!
