I don't pretend to be a geographical expert so don't ask me why the boundaries are the way they are, I just know what the boundaries of Europe are. My guess is that Iberia and the Italian Peninsula are still part of the Eurasian plate, hence why the mountains aren't a continental boundary. British Isles technically aren't part of any continent because islands are continent-less - but go back a few thousand years, and we were part of Europe. Shows how fluid this thing is, and why you shouldn't be judging Eurovision membership on geography
We are connected to Africa too, yet that is on a different continental plate. Being joined by land doesn't mean much as sea levels rise and fall.
If you are basing your argumentation on continental plates... Well then by that definition China and Indonesia are in Europe as well. The boundaries you claim Europe to have are purely constructed and political (not geographic).
And on side note neither of us is claiming that ESC participation should depend on geography of Europe.
