Absolutely possible, I would guess. I too don't know how many people voted but maybe it doesn't take much to add a significant bump to the placement. -
Our public broadcaster has asked for a breakdown of the voting figures: https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/202...oting-numbers/
Other broadcasters have made similar requests. So even those involved are suspecting things were not above board.Comment

Personally it seems to me that it would be easy for people to support Israel in large numbers when there is no single country for supporters of Palestine to vote for.Comment

This is the point; people are reaching for conspiracy theories and if we have numbers, you may not even need to. It might be really easy to explain.Originally posted by egparadigm View Post
To use a really weird example, it's like a few years ago when Hitman VR on PSVR1 won "VR game of the year" at the videogame awards, when it was honestly not that great a game which had joypad controls, when there were far, far better choices (even in the voting line-up). But no need for conspiracy theories; it won because it was a recognisable brand (Hitman) when the other games weren't, and the number of VR gamers is small compared to regular videogame fans, and many people who voted had probably never even played a VR game.Comment
