Poll: Do you listen to celebrities - when deciding how to vote?

Did you pay attention to the likes of Brian O’Driscoll and Hozier, when they weighed in on the marriage referendum?

RUSSELL BRAND FINALLY caved, and threw his weight behind Ed Miliband in the race for Number 10 yesterday.

While here at home, everyone from Brian O’Driscoll to Hozier and the Rubberbandits have been voicing their support for the Yes campaign in the run-up to this month’s same-sex marriage vote.

This morning, we’re asking: do you pay any attention to what musicians, actors or sports stars say, when deciding how to cast your vote?

Poll Results:

Never. They're overpaid and out of touch. (5158)

Depends on who they are, really. (2418)

I don't even want to vote in this poll. (1182)

Yes, why not hear them out? (896)
