This is the thing, his refusal to leave office, even when facing political suicide, our country acts on precedents and conventions, that the outgoing Prime Minister, seeks audience with the Queen and tenders his/her resignation and name a successor. His refusal to even do this will create a Constitutional crisis.
UK does have an impeachment process, in fact, the U.S copied our impeachment process and enshrined it in to their written Constitution.
We don’t have a written Constitution, as I said above about precedents and conventions, the Prime Minister, the expectation to resign, when an election is lost, when he’s lost confidence of his own or all MPs, that he goes to Buckingham Palace and resign, name a successor, if he refuses to even do this, the Queen can’t appoint a new Prime Minister.
