The problem is, because of reigional voting, its impossible for any Western European country to ever have a chance to win now.
EDIT - although, if I am being fair, a lot of other European countries take it seriously and send their top boys (or top girls), while we usually send second or third rate acts, failed reality TV competitors, etc...
If UK had sent, for example, Girls Aloud - we might have done allright... but someone like UK is still giving nations like Russia a 50 point head start due to the number of ethnic Russians spread throughout the former Soviet states.
