AS THE WORLD’S media turns its eyes to Ireland to watch the country go to the polls to vote in the marriage referendum, Twitter is also watching and waiting.

#VoteYes is the top trend in the United Kingdom, #MarRef is third from the top in Australia and in the US #VoteYes is currently fifth from the top (just below #DisneyPrincessProblems, which is fair enough).

Come on, Ireland. The world is in a foul mess. Vote for sanity, peace, equality. #VoteYes
