Why can't Britain vote for Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest?
"The reason behind the (Italians) refusal to participate is explained by the fact that "Italians are so passionate about their many singer-songwriters, cantautori. It's just for this reason that Italy no longer participates every year in the Europe-wide song festival called the Eurovision Song Festival."
"A few years back, when Italy came in a terrible position with a song and performance by one of their most treasured singer-songwriters, Enrico Ruggeri, they took their ball and well home, refusing to play with Eurovision any more. They accused their fellow broadcasters of catering to the masses' lack of musical sophistication and of politicized voting."
Hope that helps

How long does it take to contest a will?
It's one year in Canada. If heir cannot be accounted for, then the Executor (male) Executix (female) has to put an ad in the town paper twice in that one year to advise that heir of their rights to any monies or properties left to them in the Will. I don't quite know what you mean by "how long do you have to answer a Will." You are either an heir in the Will or not. If you are asked to be an Executor or Executix for the Will you can actually decline if you so choose and usually a lawyer or Trustee will take over the position.
