Theresa May to stand down as Tory Leader with immediate effect.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

After Theresa May's appalling handling of the Brexit negotiations, we need to get her replaced by someone who is better capable of dealing with the EU.
She has single handedly let down the people who voted for Brexit in a way that can only be described as out and out treachery.

Why it was rejected

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

Resignation is an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
