What the petition asks
Following the revelations of the Panama papers and the resulting hypocrisy of David Cameron, he should resign his post as Prime Minister, and if it is deemed necessary a new general election should be called.
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 or any other Minister is not the responsibility of the UK Government and 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:
