The poor performance of the British representatives in Eurovision will be investigated in Parliament

The article discusses the poor performance of the United Kingdom's Eurovision representatives in recent years, with this year's contestant Sam Battle finishing last with just one point. The UK has historically been successful at Eurovision, winning five times, most recently in 1997. However, since the turn of the millennium, their results have deteriorated significantly, often placing them near the bottom of the scoreboard. In response, the British Parliament's Digital, Media, and Sport Committee has announced plans to investigate the current process for selecting the UK's Eurovision representative. The committee aims to determine who is responsible for choosing the artist, the criteria used, and whether poor results stem from weak song selection, poor performances, or other factors. The UK remains part of the 'Big Five' group, which automatically qualifies for the final due to its financial contributions.
