Icelanders reject debt deal over collapsed bank

Voters in Iceland have resoundingly rejected a €3.9bn plan to pay back Britain and the Netherlands for debts caused by the collapse of an Icelandic Internet bank.

Returns released today with more than 98% of ballots counted show 93% of voters said “no” in yesterday’s referendum, and just 1.8% voted yes. The rest were blank or spoiled ballots.
