As it is now ,opinion polls go ,to pay - 55% - and those that do not want to pay - 45%.
Landsbanki ,was the bank that was behind the Icesave account crashed in autumn 2008.

Others advertise in radio and papers, for or against paying.
It looks like this is going to be one of the most importants votes in Icelands short history.
