WE WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO FUND A COMMONWEALTH SONG CONTEST, TO START IN THE UK AND HAVE ALL COUNTRIES FROM THE COMMONWEALTH TO PARTICIPATE IN IT. THERE ARE LOTS OF COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE EU WOULD JUMP AT THE OPPORTUNITY TOTAKE PART EVERY YEAR
WE HAVE LEFT THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THINK WE SHOULD ALSO LEAVE THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST AND START OUR OWN COMMONWELTH SONG CONTEST

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government is not responsible for organising song contests.
Decisions about the UK's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest are a matter for the BBC, not the Government or House of Commons.
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.
This means the Government is not responsible for decisions relating to the Eurovision Song Contest.
