Ensure only a pro leave candidate is allowed to become Prime Minister.

What the petition asks
Theresa May must not be allowed to stand as Prime Minister as she had been proved to be pro EU. She has already gone back on her word and said Britain will not remain in the ECHR. Only a pro leave candidate should be allowed to be PM and invoke article 50 and the will of the majority.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
