Remove David Cameron from his seat in UK government

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Since the release of the Panama papers and the recent announcement that 9 million in tax payers money is to be spent on sending a leaflet to every home in the UK regarding staying in the EU. It has become evident that David Cameron Is no longer a suitable figure to lead the UK.
After the release of the Panama papers David Cameron spent a week avoiding questions and denying his involvement regarding his offshore acounts, only to later come back with an explanation full of holes.

The recent announcement of 9 million being spent from taxpayers money on a leaflet for every home stating why the UK should stay in the EU left many people outraged at such a waste of money, however Cameron completely supports this.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

As you might already know, the Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.

After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election. You can find out more about this here:
