What the petition asks
David Camerson's failure to respond fully, accurately and quickly in response to family income matters disclosed by the Panama Papers shows him to be not a "fit and proper" person to hold the Prime Minister position in the UK.
It is not proper that a Prime Minister who has benefited from tax avoidance legislation and structures oversees and influences the UK's tax legislation.
It is not proper that a Prime Minister who has benefited from tax avoidance trusts, legislation and structures represents the UK at EC and actively participates in action to prevent fuller disclosure and tighter legislation on EU legislation on offshore trusts

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
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:
