    Always has been. The whole introduction of the public vote really highlights (what has always been) the political voting of the judges. All the scandi countries voting for each other, border buddy voting, no-one voting for the UK etc.

    It was only a few years ago that Iceland got in trouble for briefly showing a Palestine flag in the finals because the rules state “no politics”, but half the songs are making political statements.

      Neighborhood voting is usually more frequent in televoting tbh (as is running order bias)
