Force a general election should the Prime Minister of the leading party resign.
At present a change in the leader of the governing party does not trigger a general election meaning that the majority party gets to choose the next Prime Minister not the general voting population. The Conservative Party has in recent times ground the day to day running of the government to a halt
The Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022 provides that Parliament is automatically dissolved five years after it first meets (unless it is dissolved sooner), otherwise the timing is a matter of discretion for the incumbent Prime Minister (subject to re-established constitutional conventions).
The incumbent prime minister should be a person elected by general election and not in party.
