On the face of it, the suggestion makes sense. However, I haven't dug deeper to consider what other constitutional implications there may be.
Also, I'm not sure that the electorate votes for a PM - but rather a balance of risk as to party + PM vs the other lot's same.
I fully believe a lot of people vote for the leader and not the party.

Saw it with Thatcher, Major and Blair. Many switched parties due to who they trusted and feared.

I'm a Labour supporter but won't vote Labour until Corbyn is gone.

I'll also add that no new PM has the obligation to carry out the manifesto or direction that the old PM had. You hear it many times from Johnson's idiot supporters.

That alone would persuade me a GE is needed each time there's a new PM.
