Iceland To Bankers: F You-avik!

"I voted "No" because there are no legal obligations for Icelandic taxpayers to compensate the British and the Dutch for debts incurred by private companies beyond their worth. At least the losses caused by the flaws in the international banking regulatory system should be shared equally per head of the three populations. We want fairness, not blackmail."
Sölvi Eysteinsson, Reykjavik

"I voted "No" to express my opinion that we should not cover the debts. I feel that citizens should not pay for the financial mistakes of companies."
Óskar Freyr Hinriksson, Reykjavik

No need for a recount, either. The vote was 98% to 2%.
