Brexit and Eurovision

Eurovision is the saddest event humankind has ever produced. The political voting is graceless and nothing short of tragic - my 4-year-old has more maturity. Why anyone would watch that utterly value-less offal-circus is beyond me.
 
Once we’re out of the EU we’ll be free to negeoiate separate song contests with countries from around the world.

What British act in the last 15 years that we've pushed on Eurovision could have conceivably won it? Most countries put there best singers and musicians forward, we treat it as a bit of joke and a lot of time send amateurs and beginners who are expected to compete against professionals (Blue and Engelbert Humperdinck aside).

If we hell bent on winning the silly competition we should take it more seriously and put forward acts like One Direction, Adele or Ed Sheeran the problem the image of Eurovision is so naff our best acts won't touch it with barge poll.

This will take years!
There will be no song contest in place, they are wasting so much time and haven't started meaningful negotiations.
Our best hope would be for an interim extension to the current song contest, so we can be disappointed for a while in a makeshift transit arrangement, then we won't lose all of our disappointment in one go.
By the time it expires we will have new song contests to lose with the commonwealth and other nations.

At least there will be no chance of us having to host it

Like the Father Ted episode where Ireland are desperate to lose because they can't afford to host it again.

Technically, we're the British Isles and not physically a part of the continent of Europe. The modern definition of Europe tends to refer to a geographical area though.

Erm nope.

We are part of the European continent. However, we are not part of mainland Europe.

Hence why I said we could win it if we had better entries. But we don't as we treat it as a joke. Yet the country loves Xfactor, BGT, whatever ***** Simon Cowell show is on at any given time.
