David Cameron must resign over offshore tax-haven profiteering.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the Prime Minister's exposure as a profiteer of an offshore tax avoidance scheme, his attempts to mislead the public about his involvement, and his repeated historical condemnation of others involved in similar schemes,we the undersigned call for his immediate resignation.

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:

Consider a vote of no confidence in David Cameron
