EUROVISION SONG CONTEST (No. 2)

Early day motion 1679, tabled 3 June 2008 by Sir David Amess (Conservative). Signed by 8 members.

That this House believes that the Eurovision Song Contest is no longer a music contest, but is more about politics than about talent; and feels with great sadness that the time has now come when the United Kingdom should withdraw from the contest until it is properly re-established on a basis which attracts the very best songs and judges those songs regardless of a country's political allegiances.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
