eli5: British parliament; why does the next PM have to be Tory? Can other smaller political factions at least put someone up for a candidate?

The party in power chooses the PM from their ranks of MP’s, and only through a general election can a new party or coalition in power be chosen. Right now the Tories are choosing a new PM, but there has been no new general election.
