Call on David Cameron to step down as Prime Minister with immediate effect

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron should step down as Prime Minister with immediate effect after it was revealed he held shares and profited from an off shore and non British tax paying company.

Why it was rejected

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

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:

Consider a vote of no confidence in David Cameron
