What the petition asks
This Petition is for David Cameron to withdraw his resignation and continue as Prime Minister for the remainder of his term.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
The resignation of an individual Minister, including the Prime Minister, is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole. It is a decision for the individual concerned. The UK Government or Parliament cannot stop a Minister resigning.
