Eurovision Voting Patterns

The Eurovision Song Contest is often criticised for political voting by various countries and so I thought it was a good candidate for exploring using data visualization methods. In this visualization, designed and programmed in Flash Actionscript 3 you can explore the voting patterns and decide for yourself.

You can see some interesting patterns around certain areas like Scandinavia, where you can clearly see local voting taking place.

Also, Poland only received votes from the UK and from Ireland, two countries with quite high polish populations.
