What the petition asks
Introduce a Bill that all living in the United Kingdom must have a bank account
It worked in India where there is over a billion people and helps reduce corruption and reduces discrimination
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
It is not clear how requiring people to have a bank account would reduce corruption or discrimination, and there don't appear to be requirements for people living in India to have a bank account, so we're not sure how exactly your suggestion would work. You may wish to start a new petition stating more clearly what you would like to happen.
