Call on David Cameron to reconsider his resignation.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron resigned as PM following the result of the referendum. Many of us may never have supported him or voted to remain, including myself but the country has lost a passionate charismatic and competent leader so important for our country now.

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.
