The Political Fix for Russian and the UK In Eurovision Is On!

Remember all the noise made by certain parts of the UK media that the ESC 2008 result was a fix, that some countries voted for other countries for political reasons, arguably because they wanted to keep a significant ally (Russia) happy, so the oil and gas would continue to flow. Well, what goes around comes around.

It sounds like Russia has just promised to vote for the UK, no matter what the song is, no matter who the performer is, no matter if it’s all right on the night or not.

Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber visited Moscow and met with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who promised to vote for the United Kingdom next May.

If that’s not a political signal to the rest of his country,and the former satellite states, then I’m not sure what else could be said. Perhaps the votes of the juries in the UK and Russia respectively will make for some interesting light-hearted discussions.

(With a humourous hat-tip to ESC Today).
