What in reality would force the Tories into calling for a new election though?? While ever the DUP stick to their pledge to support the Tories, they have the majority in Parliament, so any vote of no confidence would fail if it got to a vote wouldn't it? What other circumstances could lead to a GE against the will of the sitting government?

Its a bit like over here and Trump's potential impeachment. Unless there is direct evidence against him in the Russian investigation, that won't cause impeachment, and while the Republicans hold both chambers I cannot see them doing it, so at this point while its fashionable to call for him to be impeached for a variety of reason, I can't see how the legal ability to do it is there!! Besides, like in the UK, sometimes its better to have the devil you know, I certainly would take Trump over Pence as Trump will continue to struggle to actually achieve anything, whereas the Republican party would get behind Pence and then all hell will be let loose on a variety of things that he would want to change.

In the UK, if there was another election, surely the likely outcome would be a coalition government with no dominant party at all, and that would be a disaster for the UK with Brexit, let alone other issues!! I suppose it will come down to whether that disaster is considered worse than the current one the UK potentially seems to be heading into.
