you actually think you won cause you had the best song

- clearly you have little understanding of the political side of the event.
Norway's was the only one that i can actually remember.. glam rock 70's style with a weird lead singer that looked a buit like a young ozzy osbourne
U are right, eurovision is a political game,maybe 80%
we took many12points from friendly and allied countries( i believe England too)
just because of political motives,
but we arent the one to blame.
Greece had its fair part of political de-favourism,
we were the only south EU country for a long long time in the competition,
we had less neighbour support than everyone,
now with the entries of so many balcanic countries things have changed,
malta had a great voice but u cant win eurovision with a scenary image like that.
we were probably helped and favoured to win and organise the eurovision next year, thing that it will further boost our turism,
Greece's main factor of income.
music, dance and distraction is our only industry
