Call on David Cameron to resign from office

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron has repeatedly lied to the British public and has continually condemned immoral tax avoidance, whilst at the same time he is profiting from his own fathers offshore scheme.

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:

Consider a vote of no confidence in David Cameron
