Sometimes there is pressure to call a snap general election if something like this happens, but votes in elections go towards electing MPs. The party with the largest amount of seats gets to choose the PM.
Andrea Leadsom stepped down as commons leader the other day, and was one of the candidates for PM the last time around, so I would expect she will be one of the favourites now.

Wow. I can't believe it. I wonder what this means for Brexit.
What I don't understand, though, is why her party has to decide a new Prime Minister. Why wouldn't it be a whole new election where someone from any party could win? This is something I don't understand about UK politics, there's probably a logical answer I'm not aware of.
