This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition UK to split and enter Eurovision as Wales, Scotland and England.
With a exception of NI as they are represented by Ireland. As a whole, the UK never did well for some time, and never even received 12 points for seven years until today. And now more than ever, the contest has become more controversial for number of reasons. But what if we enter as three nations?
More details
I believe UK should be split since the UK is known for its multi-nationalism. However, if for example, Wales enters, they will be able to express their part in Eurovision culturally and promote their identity on world's stage. (As well as promoting their tourism and language.) This will give each nation opportunity to participate individually and increase competition popularity as well as right to refuse participation. Financially speaking, I believe this will help both economy and tourism.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
