Ah! Eurovision voting system.

In the past, a country votes will be based on juries score and televoting result. After we get a country's jury score and televoting result, we mash them together into one scoring set.

In 2016, it's decided that we will have jury vote and televoting result, but they're not mashed together. Instead, we have 2 scoring set.

The country who finished 1st in a scoring set gets 12 points. 2nd country gets 10 points. 3rd country gets 8 points. 4th country gets 7 points until 10th country gets 1 point.

The 2016 system succeed in making the result exciting. Australia was leading until Ukraine takes over in the very last second. At the final set, it was Ukraine vs Russia (where each is the other political nemesis--what a coincidence.) Russia failed to get 400 points so Ukraine wins Eurovision 2016.

So what happen if Eurovision 2014 and Eurovision 2015 uses 2016's system?

In the procedure, they reveal the jury vote and then they reveal the televoting result already combined. This will be the score after the jury vote revealed.

Austria was leading against Sweden with a very small margin of 17 points. However, when we start revealing the televoting result, things won't get very exciting. There'll no Russia vs Ukraine because Austria went away with both televoting and judge system.

It gets boring actually. Austria literally robbed the house.

The top 7 doesn't shake a lot, but it's a madhouse in the between--includin Malta and Azerbaijan climb up 9 places in the new system.

Poor Austria and Germany scored the humilating nul points. Austria is the first country to got 0 points as the host country.

Eurovision 2015 however, will get more exciting result using 2016's system. This will be the result after the jury revelation.

This is somewhat interesting. Neither Germany nor Austria scored 0 points. In fact, they are far away from the last place. Sweden had more than 100 points gap. Sure this will be more boring. no? But things will be intriguing when it turned out that Sweden didn't get the most televoting.

It was Italy!

Thunder and lightning, this is getting exciting! Did Italy scored enough point to get over Sweden?

Italy, as the televoting favorite, you received 366 points! That is...

not enough to get over Sweden!

The most interesting part is the bottom part of the leader board. United Kingdom finished last. Germany and Austria almost escaped the the second half of the leaderboard, but the televoting wasn't kind to them and they got dragged down back to the bottom part of the leader board.

It's no longer a secret that people thought that Eurovision's jury is corrupted.

I for one believe they are not corrupted, but if they are, the new system will be the system that prevent the jury from getting too far with their collusive act.

For example: If A finished 1st in B's televoting, but finished last in B's judge (because the judge is corrupt),

In the new system: A still wins 12 points (for an average for 6 points)

In the old system: A wins 0 points. This is the bad part of the old system, the judge can override the televoting.

In the older system: A wins 5 points maximum.

So even if the judge is corrupt, EBU is showing good intention to marginalize them.

Now, I hope Indonesia will join Eurovision...

like Australia did.
