What the petition asks
Nigel Farage has resigned as leader of UKIP. This resignation should extend to his status as MEP with immediate effect, excluding him from any further Brexit negotiations. His resignation means he does not have the capacity to see through the British exit from the EU and manage its future impact.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
