This is exactly right - the exact same “Let’s burn down the system sell off the system to the highest briber bidder” sentiment that’s been ruling the Republicans has been eating away at the Tories as well. Now, every time leadership fails to make changes, they toss them out and put someone more extreme in their place (until you hit a Liz Truss)
UK doesn’t work like you think it does. The PM is not a publicly elected position like in the USA.
You vote for the party. The winning party tells you who, of their elected members, will have that role. The party can replace the PM on a vote.
it’s like the speaker of the house in the USA. Remember all the voting and stuff the Republicans did earlier? Similar.

We vote liberal or conservative, but the leader can be different depending on the party vote.
Our Trudeau could still decide to not run for PM next election though if he decided not to run.
Your party can’t tell you to lead the party if you weren’t voted in as part of that party since you didn’t run at all.
