David Cameron to resign in light of the Panama Papers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron has admitted to having had a £30,000 stake in his father's offshore fund. This admission that he has personally profited from offshore funds means that the public can no longer have confidence in him to tackle corporate tax evasion, and furthermore casts doubts over his probity.

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 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
