Should bankers' bonuses be stopped?


Poll Stated 16 November 2009:

Should bankers' bonuses be stopped?

Legislation’s being mooted to control big bonuses for uber-earners in city investment banks (e.g. not the high street banks – think the likes of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan & UBS).

Which of these is closest to your view?

A. No rules whatsoever. It’s an international industry, let the market decide.  
 4% (527 votes)
B. No rules for private sector banks. Yet limit them for govt-rescued ones.  
 10% (1195 votes)
C. Reward long term results. Axe bonuses for short term risk-taking  
 25% (3022 votes)
D. Cap the amount. Have a panel set out annual limits.  
 9% (1151 votes)
E. Stop all big bonuses. The amount simply isn’t right.  
 52% (6354 votes)
