Require the PM to remain in office during the fixed term of a parliament.
Failure on a given issue, e.g. EU referendum, can force a PM to resign and thus radically change the character of the government from the one elected. The current PM should remain in place and manage the situation that he started and that the people voted on.
The fixed term parliament act helps maintain stability by keeping a government in place for a fixt term.

A prime minister should not feel honor bound to resign for a given failure. He and his Mps should be bound to rectify the failure during the period of the parliament. Internal party coup mongering would occur less if the PM and the term of the parliament were required to coincide.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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.
