lmao thats so dumb
You're not even in Europe, ffs. You lost that right when you pissed off of the UK.
you cant get away from us
person 1: australia isn't in europe, why the fuck is it in eurovision person 2: neither are Israel, Morocco, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tunisia, Lebanon, or maybe even Russia. person 1: YEAH BUT THAT'S DIFFERENT Participation in Eurovision has nothing to do with being part of Europe; it's to do with the European (yeah, I know) Broadcasting Union. For reference, Canada & the US are associated members of this Union, as are Brazil, Australia, Libya, Japan and South Korea among many. So, theoretically, all of these countries could be part of Eurovision if they really wanted. If you're gonna complain about something, get it right.
IIRC it is an invite policy where non-European countries can be invited to participate. Or maybe I'm confusing that with the Euro football cup.
Every time Eurovision gets brought up, there are always people asking "Why is x country in it they are not in Europe???" It's tedious now.
