What the petition asks
There needs to be a change in leadership to bring brexit the way we voted for it There should have been a Brexit PM in place to handle this job from the beginning we are never going to get brexit with treasa may at the helm
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
The resignation of the Prime Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or UK Parliament as a whole
In any case, the Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.
After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election. You can find out more about this here:
