How to choose a winning song (1)

After every Eurovision Song Contest many complain about the blatant bias of several countries which, irrespective of the merits of the song or its presentation, give the highest votes to their neighbours - a system which has been described by Terry Wogan of the BBC as a joke.

Unless the present voting system is changed this farce will continue. I think that a fair way to choose the best song is to appoint an independent panel of nine persons from non-participating countries (not necessarily European) to judge the songs in the semi-finals and to appoint another panel from the same non-participating countries to select the best song in the final. The voting should be held in public. The present voting system should be retained as comic relief and the winning song awarded a consolation prize.
