Ireland has overwhelmingly voted against proposed changes to the constitution in two referendums, with early vote counts and final results indicating 66.3% voting 'No' and 33.7% voting 'Yes'. The referendums, which sought to redefine marriage and motherhood among other issues, were seen as a test of public sentiment towards the government's progressive agenda. The 'No' campaign celebrated the outcome as a victory for traditional values and a rejection of 'globalist' and 'woke' ideologies. The results have prompted discussions on the future of Ireland's political landscape, with some calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Leo Varadkar. The turnout for the referendums was notably high at 44.4%, reflecting strong public interest in the issues at stake.
