Eurovision Political Voting Patterns and European Broadcasting Union

The Eurovision Song Contest is organized by the European Broadcasting Union and involves complex political voting blocs, such as Greece and Cyprus consistently trading maximum points. While the contest is named Eurovision, it includes non-European countries like Israel and recently featured veteran singer Engelbert Humperdinck representing the United Kingdom. Sweden's victory is noted as ironic given the country does not use the Euro currency.
