What the petition asks
The Supreme Court has ruled that Boris Johnson acted unlawfully in proroguing Parliament. A Prime Minister who has abused his power in this way is unfit to hold that position.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The resignation of the Prime Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
