[EL] Replacing Theresa May

[Steven John Mulroy (smulroy)]

I understand that this mid-term replacement will be accomplished by a vote just among Conservative Party leaders plus some grass-roots members around the country.  Can someone more familiar with parliamentary systems explain how common this is? I thought that replacing a prime minister normally triggers an election.  Or, if not an election, then just a choice among the PMs from the majority party.  How typical or unusual is this apparently hybrid British approach?
