‘The UK constitution contains numerous ways that a serving Prime Minister can be deposed. Although we’ve seen this happen frequently in recent history—and especially over the past year—a wider discussion about these various exit points and their significance for the UK constitution has yet to emerge. But these exit avenues are undoubtedly important. Many world leaders have consolidated power in various ways in recent years, and some have floated refusing to leave office or staunchly resisted doing so. UK constitutional actors can and should be aware of these threats, and take measures to prevent them from happening. This post identifies four mechanisms for how UK leaders may be ousted: two formal options and two less formal options. It then further reflects on these mechanisms in terms of operation and recent events. At a time when many people lament the upholding of norms and values in the UK constitution, analysing these mechanisms could prove useful when assessing the need for and potential prospects of reform.’
