Reduce or Remove Jury Scores at Eurovision

The Issue

After Sweden winning for a second time because of the jury vote, there should be some serious consideration for reducing the weight of the jury vote or outright removing it, as per the semi finals this year (2023).

The public awared Finland 376 points while Sweden got 243, yet the juries awared them 150 and 340 respectively. And what makes this more unfair is we paid to vote for 5 people in each country to decide anyway.

Another example from this year was Norway. They got 216 from us but only 52 from the jury. And this is not the first time this happened to them. They won the televote in 2019 but came 18th with the jury.

They were able to remove the juries from the semi finals and I hope this is a sign of further changes to come, especially after this year. So sign this if you want the EBU to remove the juries or reduce their influence on the results in the final too (like 75/25 split used in some national selections) so the votes we pay for count!
