Eurovision Ireland 
I don’t get it. Why have international juries in a national song contest? Surely it is for the respective nation to only vote in their final
I guess the thinking is two fold Martin. Good for Sweden to get the opinion of what the international audience might like at Eurovision and then a better chance of scoring well with at least International Juries. Secondly it is great that SVT recognise that the International audience tunes in each week. Melodifestivalen is one of the most watched on-line contests each week – and it is a way for them to include that audience.
Fair point Thank you.
