🇲🇹 MESC 2024 - Results With 50/50 Voting System (Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024)

[@escserg6731]

I’ve made this kind of video for Norway before and decided that it would be interesting to do the same for Malta and Spain too. The February 3rd Saturday turned out to be the day of very close results of all the national finals, except Ukraine (they couldn’t announce results on Saturday anyway). Also, all those national finals didn’t use the conventional 50/50 jury/televote voting system. So, that’s why I decided to do this calculation for Malta and Spain too, just to show what would happen. In case of Malta, the results would be even closer. Consider this as very short mini series of videos

Such a great idea!! And Sarah didn't need this to win!

[@escserg6731]

@@Thomaaas876 Exactly. They wanted to make sure she wins, even made 6 of 7 their juries give her 12 and decreased the power of televoters to 22%. And it all was for nothing, she would’ve won anyway with usual 50/50 system

why malta voting sistem is so annoying, 22% public? what Spain have a rival

[@escserg6731]

They change it whenever they want. Usually, when they have a fair competition, they do usual 50/50 system (for example, last year). When they wanna select someone they want (internally, basically) out of their national selection, they do that increase of jury power. This year they definitely wanted Loop, 6 out of 7 juries having 78% power gave her 12. In 2022, they really wanted Emma Muscat, that all the juries gave her 12 and they had even 86% power back then. It's just Malta being Malta

​@@escserg6731I mean if rigging the NF is what it takes to avoid banana winning then they have my blessings

And then they change it at the last minute to suit their favourite artist (Sarah)

It is a problem because Sarah’s father is a rich businessman.

@@TheManInBlueFlames Ahh, so it's much simpler, usual nepotism. I thought the broadcaster just looked at the whole package of Sarah's song and decided that what we need. I mean, this is actually what will give them the best possible result, so they would be right in this. But... again, it's much more simpler
