My nephew calls it "The Vote For Your Nearest Neighbour Contest!".
The Scandinavian countries always give each other the highest marks; countries where more than one language is spoken or whose language is the same as another's vote for each other - for example, if the Belgian entry is in French, the French give that top marks, in Dutch or Flemish, the high marks come from the Netherlands and vice versa.

don't know why we even bother now... like you say its vote for your neighbours... Here in the UK, it's nearly every country who are our neighbours. If you couldn't vote for your nearest geographic neighbour, all we could vote for would be the former Yugoslavian republics, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Turkey and the Russian countries - as for songs in the same language - judging by the ones of this year, that would include nearly every entry - they were nearly all sung in English!
