This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Keep Britain in the EU. Keep David Cameron as leader.

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to have a second referendum for the EU membership and David Cameron should remain as leader moving forward even beyond the party conference in October, following a remain result.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The resignation of an individual Minister, including the Prime Minister, is not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole. It is a decision for the individual concerned. The UK Government or Parliament cannot stop a Minister resigning.

We already have a petition open calling for a second referendum: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/133753

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
