What the petition asks
We live in a democratic country where the rule of law must prevail. Mr Johnson holds the highest office in the executive and should have known that he was acting illegally.
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.
