Petition Any British Citizen should be able to countersign passport application

More details

Why should counter signatories for passports be restricted to selected British citizens. Do we really believe that going to University makes someone more trustworthy? Is a banker more trustworthy than a bus driver? A solicitor more trustworthy than a secretary? A doctor more trustworthy than a dinner lady? Let's get rid of this out of date discrimination
