The matey voting is always going to be a feature of the competition. It always has been, and not just from the east. The UK and Ireland have had more than their fair share of winners in the past, despite all that. I can't speak for Ireland (I missed their entry this year), but the reason we did so badly this year was that the song and the performer were both gash. Pure and simple.

But back then europe was smaller, and the smaller eastern european countries were a part of a bigger country (Yugoslavia etc)
