Last week, the Icelandic government announced it will hold a referendum on 6 March over whether to repay the UK and the Netherlands debts owed from the collapse of Icesave bank – a bill estimated at around £3.3bn (source: BBC).
We would like to hear your thoughts on this issue. Do you feel the Icelandic public would be justified in voting against the repayment of this debt?

| No – the debt should be honoured. The Icelandic government should cover the liabilities of its banks, so they should foot the bill. |

53.7% |
| Yes - the debt was not run up by the Icelandic people or indeed its government. It is wrong that a generation of Icelanders should pay for the failure its banks. |
