Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

In any case, we can't accept your petition because the resignation of the Prime Minister is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

We already have a petition open calling on the House of Commons to consider a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister:
